Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Family home agencies and family homes: DOJ (and FBI where applicable) fingerprints for staff, adults in the home and anyone with frequent and routine contact, submitted within 4 days of employment, residence or presence (Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 4689.2)
  • Vendors that are CDSS-licensed facilities also follow that facility's clearance rules (see Adult Residential Facility and Adult Day Program)

Why some registries are not screened yet

Requires an employer account
Searches go through the employer's own account with the agency, so ezOIG doesn't run them for you.

Guidance, not legal advice
