Genesis Childcare Academy

Case Summary:

2/2/15: Internal email was received to Loss Prevention

2/2/15: Parent Case terminated due to non‐compliance with the 30 day return policy/packet

incomplete. Last day of service for child: 1/31/2015

2/2/15: Internet Searches include:

Genesis Children's Academy ‐ President Barbara Viera‐Perdomo, Felipe Perdomo, Rosa Viera/ Vice

President Orestes Viera

All County P & I Services, Inc. ‐ President Barbara Viera‐Perdomo

Havana Jewel Cigars & Hookah Lounge Inc. ‐ President Felipe Perdomo and John Viera

2/5/15: Case was sent to OEL for Further Investigation

Final Determination: Loss Prevention has reason to believe that client Barbara Perdomo, who is also

contracted with the ELC as a Provider under Genesis Childcare Academy, knowingly omitted her true

and accurate income during her application process which resulted in receiving services she was not

entitled to. (Income does not seem reflect what she is actually reporting).

Florida Statute 141.39 states:

(1) Any person who knowingly: (a) Fails, by false statement, misrepresentation, impersonation, or other fraudulent means, to disclose a material fact used in making a determination as to such person’s qualification to receive public assistance under any state or federally funded assistance program; (b) Fails to disclose a change in circumstances in order to obtain or continue to receive any such public assistance to which he or she is not entitled or in an amount larger than that to which he or she is entitled; or (c) Aids and abets another person in the commission of any such act, 4) Any person who: (a) Knowingly files, attempts to file, or aids and abets in the filing of, a claim for services to a recipient of public assistance under any state or federally funded public assistance program for services that were not rendered; knowingly files a false claim or a claim for nonauthorized items or services under such a program; or knowingly bills the recipient of public assistance under such a program, or his or her family, for an amount in excess of that provided for by law or regulation; (b) Knowingly fails to credit the state or its agent for payments received from social security, insurance, or other sources; or

52

(c) In any way knowingly receives, attempts to receive, or aids and abets in the receipt of, unauthorized payment or other unauthorized public assistance or authorization or identification to obtain public assistance as provided herein, Provider Contract, page 10 (10) states:

The Coalition is required to report to the Department of Financial Services, for further investigation, cases where there is sufficient reason to believe that the Provider has knowingly provided or submitted fraudulent information. The Provider understands that knowingly providing false information, omitting requested information, signing inaccurate attendance documents or failing to promptly report changes that will directly affect eligibility as a school readiness funded provider, may result in a requirement to refund unauthorized payments and/or a discontinuance of further participation in the SR program. The Coalition may suspend or terminate the Provider from participation in the SR program when it has reasonable cause to believe that the Provider has committed fraud. If suspended, the Provider shall remain suspended until the completion of any investigation by the Office of early Learning, the Department of Financial Services, or any other state or federal agency, and any subsequent prosecution or other legal proceeding.

Early Childhood Development RFP 2015-05

The Children’s Trust has finalized recommendations for this early childhood competitive solicitation. This was a highly competitive process—with $18 million in requests from 21 applicants for the $8.7 million available in the Request for Proposals (RFP). We were able to fund 13 of the highest ranking applications (scoring at 70 and above). For new applicants, the final score is based solely upon the application review. For applicants currently funded by The Children’s Trust to provide similar services, the final score incorporates past performance,

weighted as follows: 40% from application review + 30% from 2013-14 contract performance score + 20% from 2012-13 contract performance score + 10% from 2011-12 contract performance score. Contract performance scores used are the scores before any red flag or cautionary item deductions.

In general, funding has been recommended at reduced amounts to ensure a diverse continuum of early childhood development services remain within our early childhood portfolio. Application budgets were closely reviewed by a team of Trust contract staff, and reductions were made to staffing and operational costs in some cases. Specifically for Summer Programs for Children with Disabilities, in analyzing application requests, we discovered that if we funded full day summer camp applications at the full amounts requested, it would result in significantly fewer slots than anticipated from the doubling of the investment amount for this program area. Our approach to determining recommended funding amounts was uniformly applied, taking into account the number of slots and program days proposed for summer camp. For applicants with current contracts, we used an up to eight (8) percent increase over the current contract cost per child day rate. This equates to approximately double the rate of inflation based on the consumer price index (CPI) for urban areas since 2011. This controlled growth capitation allows us to fund more than 520 summer camp slots for children with disabilities (approximately 185% of current slots), as we double our investment in this new funding cycle. The Children’s Trust Board of Directors will consider these funding recommendations initially at

the upcoming Program Services and Childhood Health Committee meeting on Thursday, April 30, 2015 from 4-6 p.m. in the United Way Ryder conference room. Subsequently, the committee’s recommendations will be presented to the full board on Monday, May 11, 2015

from 4-6 p.m., also in the United Way Ryder conference room. Please confirm all dates and times for committee and full board meetings on The Children's Trust website community calendar.
