Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Signed statements on convictions and abuse findings from all personnel (He-P 601.11(k))
  • A felony bars a final offer without a waiver; a misdemeanour must be disclosed to the individual served (He-P 601.11(g)-(j))
  • Competency in personal care tasks within 30 days of hire, state-plan PCA (He-W 552.07(a))

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.
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.
