  • IDHW enhanced fingerprint-based clearance affiliated with the CFH program (Agency ID 1104) before certification, before a new adult moves in, before staff or substitutes are alone with a resident, and within 30 days after the month a household member turns 18 (IDAPA 16.03.19.009; IDAPA 16.05.06.126)

  • Visitors have no unsupervised contact with residents unless cleared (IDAPA 16.03.19.009.04)

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
