  • DHS background study for employees, contractors and regularly scheduled volunteers, and for all employees whether or not they give direct care (Minn. Stat. §§ 144G.60, subd. 1; 144.057, subd. 1)
  • Training and competency evaluation for unlicensed personnel (Minn. Stat. § 144G.60, subd. 4)

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.

Guidance, not legal advice

This page summarizes ezOIG's research into Minnesota's rules for this program, checked against the regulations as of October 15, 2026. Rules change, and an agency's own contract or license can add to them. Confirm what applies to you with Minnesota Department of Human Services (Minnesota Health Care Programs, MHCP) or your own counsel before relying on it.
