Important Notice: Possible CCAP Scam
We want to make you aware of a possible scam regarding the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). We have recently learned of an incident in which a family was reportedly contacted by an individual requesting payment for an alleged overpayment.
Please be aware that any legitimate notice of a child care overpayment will be issued formally through the OCFS‑LDSS‑7009: Notice of Child Care Assistance Overpayment and Repayment Requirements, which includes the amount owed and official payment instructions.
If a family receives a request for payment outside of this formal notification process, or has questions regarding an overpayment, please contact the Broome County DSS Day Care Unit at 607‑778‑2628.
