    Not named in Chapter 1, and the program is state-funded; standard for in-home care employers whose staff also serve federal health care program clients (42 CFR 1001.1901)

Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • At least two written character references before employment or volunteering (Wyoming Home Services Rules Ch. 1 § 10(b)(i))
  • Nobody on the Central Registry or convicted of a felony, or of a misdemeanor related to abuse, neglect, exploitation or abandonment of adults or children, may provide in-home services (Ch. 1 § 10(a)); the rule names no criminal history check
  • General orientation in the first week of employment and before client contact (Ch. 1 § 11(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.
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.
