Certaintly there are many LEGIT agencies that service the under-served.
But abuse seems so rampant that the agency has little choice to be SUSPEND funding to all and make the HONEST agencies prove they are honest.
And CBS News, shockingly is actually covering the story. Odd, after a media blackout of the story. We now have 1 mainstream media source giving the story daylight.

HHS freezes all child care payments to Minnesota after viral fraud allegations

The Department of Health and Human Services said Tuesday it has frozen federal child care funding for the state of Minnesota, citing viral fraud allegations.
Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O'Neill announced the move in a post on X, writing that "blatant fraud ... appears to be rampant in Minnesota and across the country."
"We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud," he wrote.
O'Neill cited a video in which conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley alleged nearly a dozen Minnesota day care centers that receive state funds aren't actually providing services. O'Neill said the agency has identified the centers mentioned in a video and demanded that the state carry out a "comprehensive audit" of them, including "attendance records, licenses, complaints, investigations and inspections."
CBS News conducted its own analysis of day care centers mentioned by Shirley. All but two have active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations were visited by state regulators within the last six months. The analysis found dozens of citations for safety, cleanliness and other issues, but no recorded evidence of fraud.. . STORY CONTINUES AT LINK ^^^
