A consumer who has been convicted of fraud to obtain child care subsidy benefits will be disqualified from receiving child care subsidy program benefits for five years.
"Conviction" or "convicted" means a finding by a state or federal court that an individual is guilty of a criminal offense that involves the commission of fraud to obtain child care subsidy payments or benefits. A guilty finding includes an adjudication of guilt, a verdict of guilt, and acceptance of a plea of guilty. A guilty finding constitutes a conviction regardless of whether the imposition of sentence is deferred or the penalty is suspended.
