Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Fingerprint-based state and national criminal history check when KDADS requires one (K.S.A. 65-5117(d)(2))
  • Reference checks before employment (K.A.R. 28-51-103(d)(5))

  • 20-hour home health aide course and state test for aides (K.A.R. 28-51-113)

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
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.
Requires an employer account
Searches go through the employer's own account with the agency, so ezOIG doesn't run them for you.
Checked by request to the agency
The agency answers a written request or form rather than an online search.
