FRAUD ALERT!!!

OCFS continues to receive reports that child care programs are being contacted by individuals that are falsely representing themselves as employees of the Office of Children and Family Services and/or the Department of Health. These individuals tell provider’s that the purpose of the call is to confirm COVID case information or schedule an inspection of the program. The individual asks the provider for sensitive information- including Social Security Number.  

Please do NOT share your personal information with anyone other than your licensor or registrar.
