Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • A worker is excluded for a record of violent felonies or allegations of abuse of vulnerable individuals (N.J.A.C. 10:60C-2.3(b)); a background check is an allowable purchase from the budget (N.J.A.C. 10:60C-4.3) but no rule requires one
  • Workers are terminated and barred after substantiated abuse, neglect or exploitation, or documented fraud or criminal activity (N.J.A.C. 10:60C-2.3(d))

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.
