The Trump administration has frozen $10 billion in federal childcare and social services funding to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York over allegations of widespread fraud, though officials have not provided evidence for all five states.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday that it would withhold approximately $7.35 billion in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding, nearly $2.4 billion from the Child Care Development Fund, and $869 million from Social Services Block Grants.
