TWiname: During our review of claims for Federal sharing in the administrative costs of public assistance programs in California and Pennsylvanis, we found that overpayients for child care services have been made by these States to certain recipients of public assistance. These overpayments have resulted in incorrect claims by these States for Federal reimburemerntsfrom the Department of health, Education, and Welfare. On the other hand, we found instances where Pennsylvania did not claim reimbursement to which it was entitled. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of these findings and request that the Social and Rehabilitation Service determine-through its regional representatives--the extent to which similar problems might exist in other locations so that, as necessary, corrective measures can be adopted Our work in California included a review of fiscal years 1969 and 1970 records and documents of the Department of Public Social Services (D)PSS), los Angeles, relating to claims for costs for child care services4 In Penn- sylvania, we reviewed selected Work Incentive (WIN) program child care cases in Dauphin and Philadelphia Counties and information at the State Department of Public Welfare related to claims for Federal reimbursement during various periods beginning November 1968 through June 1970. The details of our find- ings follow. INCORR1ECT PAT&4ENS FOR CHILD CARM SERVICES California Examination of some claims for Federal reimbursement of child care cost during the period February 1969 through March 1970 in Los Angeles County showed that payments for child care services were made to participants in th VIN program even though their children were attending County day care center at no cost to the participant. Incorrect payments for child care services occurred because the County' public assistance procedures did not provide for the eligibility caseworkers to be notified when children of public assistance recipients were enrolled i the County's free day care centers. We were also told by some of the case- workers that whan they authorized the child care payments for children who were enrolled in these centers they were unatware that County day care servic were provided free. < O939027(
