2/27/2015Division of Developmental Disabilities Presents:Required Background Checks andClearances and Web PortalInstructions2/27/20151INFORMATION ABOUT THISTRAINING:Problems with criminal background checks/registryclearances are the most frequently cited findings duringDivision of Developmental Disabilities/Bureau ofQuality Management reviews. In an effort to reducefuture findings, this training was developed to provideinformation and clarification about the criminalbackground check and registry clearance requirementsfor all employees of DD-funded provider agencies.2/27/201521
2/27/2015TRAINING OVERVIEW:This Webinar includes step-by-step instructions for the requiredfingerprint criminal background check and each of the required registryclearances: At the time of hire criminal background check and registry clearances Annual registry clearances Related required documentation of the background check andclearances and Expectations for meeting these requirements are specified in theCommunity Services Agreement Attachment A, Section VIII. Information about the two web portals you will be using (DHS webportal for training completion information and the IDPH web portal forcriminal background checks, employment and other entries.)2/27/20153The Sources Referenced in thisTraining:The links below will take you to the source documentsreferenced in this training:Community Services Agreement Attachment Ahttp://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item 70174Note: The CSA/Attachment A is the annually executed contract between DHS and communityservices providers that deliver Medicaid Waiver and state-funded developmental disabilitiesservices and supports such as CILA, developmental training, service facilitation, children grouphomes, home-based services, etc. ICFsDD do not sign Community Services Agreements.Health Care Worker Background Check ActID 1303&ChapterID 24Paul’s Law (Public Act s/fulltext.asp?Name 097-0441Required Criminal Background Check & Registry Clearances (DHS Web site)http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item 481252/27/201542
2/27/2015Laws Requiring a Criminal BackgroundCheck and Annual ClearancesThe two laws that govern the criminalbackground check and annual registryclearance requirements are:1. The Health Care Worker BackgroundCheck Act; and2. Paul’s Law.The next few slides provide informationabout these laws.2/27/20155Health Care Worker BackgroundCheck Act2/27/201563
2/27/2015Health Care WorkerBackground Check Act Providers are required by law to perform backgroundchecks/clearances to ensure that applicants are incompliance with the Health Care Worker BackgroundCheck Act (225 ILCS 46). (Exception- This Act does not applyto individuals who are licensed by the Department of Financialand Professional Regulation or the Department of Public Healthunder another law of this State.)Information about this Act can be found ActID 1303&ChapterID 242/27/20157Paul’s Lawand Annual Clearances2/27/201584
2/27/2015Paul’s Lawand Annual Clearances Paul’s Law (Public Act 097-0441) requires employee namesto be cleared annually against these 3 registries:– Health Care Worker Registry– Illinois Sex Offender Registry– DCFS Child Abuse & Tracking System (CANTS). The requirement for completing/documenting theseclearances are in Community Service AgreementAttachment A.2/27/20159Annual Clearances The requirement for 3 annual clearances becameeffective July 1, 2012. By now, every employee should have current annualclearances Annual clearances should be completed no more than13 months after the previous annual or initialclearance.2/27/2015105
2/27/2015Is an annual HCWR clearancerequired if we use fingerprintchecks? Yes Providers may become aware ofintervening findings of abuse, neglect orexploitation posted on the Health CareWorker Registry by the DHS OIG.2/27/201511When Conducting an Annual Clearance, theEmployee Must be Terminated if: there is a subsequent disqualifying conviction(when there is no waiver). there is an Administrative finding of abuse,neglect or exploitation on the HCWR. there is a new indication reported by CANTS. There is new entry on the Illinois Sex OffenderRegistry.2/27/2015126
2/27/2015What Should Agencies Do If RequiredCheck/Clearances Were NotCompleted in the Past?For required “at time of hire” checks which were notcompleted: Provider agencies that failed to complete allrequired checks and clearances at the time of hire or annuallythereafter should immediately initiate and document allmissing checks/clearances. During review activity by theDivision, only checks completed in a timely manner will becredited towards the provider’s score. However, missingchecks which were self-identified and corrected by theprovider agency prior to the Division review will not result insanctions by the Division.2/27/201513Who Needs BackgroundChecks and Clearances? All employees, in any capacity, need a criminalbackground check reported to the Health Care WorkerRegistry (HCWR) and clearances at the time of hire andannually thereafter. This includes full and part-timeemployees, custodial, administrative and clerical staffs. Employees on leave (family, medical, education, etc.) arerequired to have annual clearances while they are on leave.No additional clearances are required when they return towork. Employees who terminate employment and later return mustbe treated as a new hire with all required background checkand clearances.2/27/2015147
2/27/2015REQUIRED BACKGROUND CHECKSAND CLEARANCES (with effective dates)The Division of Developmental Disabilities requires that providers conduct a fingerprint criminalbackground check and four (4) clearances:Criminal Background Check - Illinois State Police Criminal Background Check- At the time of Hire (1/1/00)*Clearances:1.Health Care Worker Registry Clearance- At the time of Hire (1/1/00)*- Annually (7/1/12)Department of Children and Family Services - Child Abuse and Neglect Tracking System (CANTS)2.Clearance- At the time of Hire (7/1/07* – child programs; 7/1/09* – All)- Annually (7/1/12)3.Illinois Sex Offender Registry- At the time of Hire (7/1/07 *– child programs; 7/1/09 *– All)- Annually (7/1/12)Healthcare and Family Services, Office of Inspector General Sanctions List4.- At the time of Hire (7/1/08*)* Employees hired prior to the effective dates above and continuously employed by your agency donot need initial clearances documented but will have to have documentation of required annualclearances after 7/1/12.152/27/2015Defining “Checks” and “Clearances”For purposes of this training, references to “checks” mean the initialState Police criminal background check, either a FEE APP fingerprintingprocess using the Health Alert Network (HAN) Web Portal or theUniform Conviction Information Act (UCIA) background check methodfor agencies that don’t yet have clearance to use the HAN. Referencesto “clearances,” mean looking at the Health Care Worker Registry foradministrative findings and training to see if the person has already hadan initial criminal background check. Clearances also pertain to makingsure the person: is not listed on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry; has no CANTS indications; and has not been sanctioned by the Illinois Department of Healthcareand Family Services for Medicaid/Medicare Fraud.2/27/2015168
2/27/2015Background Check/Clearance Results The applicant can be “conditionally” hired andemployed for up to 3 months while youragency awaits background check and clearanceresults. If the results indicate a disqualifying conviction,the person may not be employed unless awaiver is granted by IDPH including whileawaiting the results of a waiver request.2/27/201517“At the time of hire ”Typically, background checks/clearances should beinitiated or completed no later than the first day inpaid status. For purposes of background clearances,the Division of Developmental Disabilities considers“at the time of hire” to be the first day in paid status.They may be completed prior to the first day in paidstatus but no earlier than 30 calendar days before theemployee starts work.2/27/2015189
2/27/2015Release of Information Form: Before conducting background checks, be sure applicantshave read, and signed the Release of Informationstatement on the Illinois State Police and CANTSbackground check forms. No consent is required for these online clearances that areavailable to the public:HCWR Illinois Sex Offender Registry HFS OIG Sanctions List. 2/27/201519Conducting Initial Background ClearanceBefore hiring staff (including volunteers),providers must: First clear their names on the Health Care WorkerRegistry (HCWR) or Health Alert Network (HAN) fordisqualifying criminal offenses, and substantiatedadministrative findings of abuse, neglect or financialexploitation reported by the DHS Inspector General. If the applicant’s name is not on the HCWR/HANwith a FEE APP check, he/she must obtain anIllinois State Police fingerprint criminal backgroundcheck from a Livescan vendor for its reporting to theHCWR.2/27/20152010
2/27/2015Special Instructions for Conducting Initial HCWRCriminal Background ClearancesThe next few slides show examples of what you might seewhen clearing applicant names on the HCWR. Please note: If an applicant is on the HCWR with a UCIA background check,he/she must get a fingerprint (FEE APP) background check even ifthere are no criminal convictions or substantiated findings of abuseor neglect reported on the HCWR. If the applicant is already on the HCWR with a “FEE APP”background check, another criminal background check IS NOTneeded. If the applicant is hired, his or her employment information must beadded to the HAN web portal by your Portal Registration Authorityso that your agency can be notified immediately of any subsequentdisqualifying criminal convictions.2/27/201521Special Instructions for Conducting Initial HCWRCriminal Background Clearances (cont.)The initial and annual, background clearances can be done usingeither the IDPH’s HCWR public website or its Health Alert Network(HAN) web portal. When using the HAN for HCWR backgroundchecks and clearances, the person’s SS# must be entered beforeyou can see the training, criminal and administrative information.When there are several people on the registry with the samename, satisfying the SS# validation rule is much quicker using theHAN instead of the HCWR public site which requires you to checkall the names until a SSN match is found.Examples of screens from both sites follow on the next few slides.2/27/20152211
2/27/2015Documentation of Initial HCWR CriminalBackground ClearancesWhen a name-based search is conducted at the public x employers should searchby last name only unless such a search returns too many results. If resultsmust be narrowed, searching by last name with first initial (or first fewletters of the first name) will result in more accurate results. Thedocumentation (either printed or electronic copy) must include socialsecurity number verification if a name match is located. Documentedresults must include the date the search was completed. Searches conducted using DPH’s Health Alert Network web portal arecompleted using social security number. The documentation (either printedor electronic screen print of the website used to conduct the check) mustinclude the date the search was completed. If the pre-employment search was not conducted using search criteriaconsistent with these guidelines, the check will be considered valid if it wascompleted in a timely manner (i.e., no later than the first day in paid status)and at least one annual check has been conducted and documented in thespecified manner.2/27/201523Documentation of Initial HCWR Criminal BackgroundClearances (cont.) Criminal Background Check—Results of the criminal backgroundcheck may be documented in a variety of ways, depending onthe timing and type of background check completed. Acceptableforms of documentation are an e-mail from the Illinois StatePolice showing results by the person’s social security number,copies of results documented on “Verify” forms received fromthe Illinois State Police, or print out from the Health CareWorker Registry public website or Health Alert Network webportal showing the date the check was conducted and results.Employers must retain evidence of the initiation of the criminalbackground checks until the results are received and filed at theagency.2/27/20152412
2/27/2015HCWR Clearances Using the Health AlertNetwork (HAN) Web PortalThe next few slides show how to do HCWRclearances using the HAN (which can only beaccessed by your agency’s Portal RegistrationAuthority or Additional Users).2/27/201525HCWR Clearances Using the Health AlertInitialNetwork Web Portalbackgroundchecks andsubsequentclearances canbe done usingthe Health AlertNetwork (HAN).After logging into the HAN web portal,Enter the applicant/new hire’s SS#.Enter theperson’s name orSS# here.2/27/20152613

(DSPs cannotwork alone until they are designed as a DD Aide on theHCWR.)2/27/201531HCWR Clearances Using the Health CareWorker Registry (HCWR) Public SiteThe next few slides show how to do HCWRclearances using the public site, which can beaccessed by anyone with Internet access.Please note: validating Social Securitynumbers can take longer using the public siteif you find several people with the samename.2/27/20153216
2/27/2015This screen shot shows that the applicant (John Doe) is not on theHCWR and will need a fingerprint background check. You shouldprint this screen shot and put it in the person’s file.2/27/201533Name redactedThis person is on the registry, has had trainingas a CNA, but cannot be hired because ofdisqualifying offenses and Waiver denial.Waiver information ishere.Training informationis here.2/27/20153417
2/27/2015Name redactedThis is a screen shot of a CNA with no convictions. The person’sCNA training is shown under “Programs” at the bottom of thepage. The background check was UCIA so they will need aFEE APP background check (or updated UCIA check) if startingwork at a new agency, or returning after working elsewhere.2/27/201535This person’s criminal background check was done using the FEE APPmethod so another criminal background check is not needed.This person has completed DSP training and is nowdesignated as a DD Aide.2/27/20153618
2/27/2015NAMEREDACTEDThis person is designated as a DD Aide with no findings, howeverthe background check was done using the UCIA method so aFEE APP background check should be initiated on the web portal;if agency not on the web portal, another UCIA check is required.If UCIA method used:Fax or mail the new UCIA backgroundcheck information to:Illinois Department of Public Health535 West Jefferson StreetSpringfield, Illinois 62761Fax 217-524-0137(This is on the bottom of the HCWR screen)2/27/201537Validating Resultson the HCWR Public Site If a name match is found using the HCWRpublic site, always validate the results usingthe Social Security Number of the applicant. If there are several HCWR entries withsimilar names, you will need to check themall. See examples on the next slides.2/27/20153819
2/27/2015John DoeThe applicant’s name is the same as a person withan Administrative Finding of Abuse; however, theSS# does not match. This demonstrates why it isimportant to validate findings with a SS#.2/27/201539Name Redacted123-45-6789This shows how tovalidate that theSocial SecurityNumber matchesthe name of theperson you arechecking on whohas anAdministrativeFinding of Abuse.They cannot behired.2/27/20154020
2/27/2015Search Tips: Do not narrow the search by adding too much information inthe search field, as the information entered limits the searchto only those parameters within the listing. Search using the last name only when possible. Use only the first initial of the first name. Consider name changes and search for maiden name,previous married names, etc. Unusual names may have been misspelled when entered, souse only the first few characters when searching.2/27/201541Background Check Designations - FEE APP &CAAPP The designation “CAAPP” on the HCWR or Health AlertNetwork (HAN) is a code entered by IDPH to designate a“rapback” finding connected to the FEE APP. It is the same asa valid fingerprint background check result. It may indicate new criminal activity, a change in Waiver status,or merely indicate that IDPH made an administrativecorrection to the record. Whenever there is a CAAPP designation, check the HAN portalto make sure there is no “red flag” showing disqualifyingconvictions.2/27/20154221
2/27/2015Waivers for Disqualifying ConvictionsIndividuals with disqualifying convictions (as defined by theHealth Care Worker Background Check Act) may not work in aDD-funded setting unless a waiver has been granted. Waivers for disqualifying criminal convictions are granted by the IllinoisDepartment of Public Health. Persons with criminal convictions may file aHealth Care Waiver Application Form with IDPH to reinstatetheir eligibility for employment with Illinois health care providers. For more information, see the IDPH Health Care Worker Registry web sitefor “Waiver Application Facts” (scroll to the bottom of the screen) athttps://hcwrpub.dph.illinois.gov/Default.aspx Waivers granted previously by DHS Bureau of Accreditation, Licensure andCertification are honored by Division of DD. Employers are under no obligation to hire employees who have a IDPHwaiver for a disqualifying conviction.432/27/2015Illinois State PoliceCriminal Background ChecksThis section covers: What type of check is needed?– Name; or– Fingerprint. How to conduct the check; and Examples of disqualifying convictions. Documentation2/27/20154422
2/27/2015WHAT IS A FEE APP BACKGROUND CHECK?The HAN Web Portal to the Health Care Worker registry is used to run “Fee App” background checks.Fee App background checks: Must be requested by a government entity, in this case IDPH. allow Illinois State Police (ISP) to store the fingerprints in their repository. A flag is put on the ISP database that indicates that IDPH was the original requestor of thebackground check. Not only is a background check result sent to IDPH at the time of request but, if there are anyfuture convictions associated with those fingerprints, ISP will send a notification to IDPH. This meansthat the background check is always up-to-date and the applicant will not be required to have anotherISP fingerprint background check as long as they stay active on the registry. IDPH will use the information that the facilities enter about employment in the web application tonotify all current employers of any future convictions. If a facility no longer employees an individual,the facility will not receive notices about that individual. The notices will be in the form of an automatic email. Therefore, as soon as a determination ofdisqualification is made on the new conviction the facility will receive an email. If the conviction is disqualifying, any waivers that have been granted will be revoked.2/27/201545Here’s what a Livescan form looks like:Job applicants whoare either not on theHCWR or have onlyhad a UCIAbackground check,will need to have aFEE APP backgroundcheck done. Youragency should print aLivescan RequestForm for applicantsor new hires to taketo one of the 4vendors forfingerprint scanningwithin 10 workingdays.This portion isreturned toyour agency2/27/20154623
2/27/2015LiveScan FEE APP VendorsAgencies with access to the IDPH Health Alert Network Web portal should use the Fingerprint-basedfee applicant (FEE APP) process for conducting background checks. The FEE APP checks arehandled by a contracted vendor (listed below) whose staff do the fingerprinting and send the resultsto the State Police (posted on DHS Web site at http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item 48125 : A Fingerprinting US Photo, Inc: 1-312-782-8144 or www.fingerprintingchicago.com Accurate Biometrics, Inc: 1-866-361-9944 or www.accuratebiometrics.com Anthony's Mobile Fingerprinting, Inc: 1-888-406-8729 or www.TheFingerPrintMan.com Big River Investigations: 1-217-228-9114 or www.bigriverinvestigations.com Bushue Human Resources, Inc: 1-217-342-3042 or www.bushuehr.com Fact Finders Group, Inc: 1-708-283-4200 or www.factfindersgroup.com FIRM Systems: 1-866-721-1203 or www.firmsystems.net iTouch Biometrics: 1-847-706-6789 or www.itouchbiometrics.com Kevin McClain Investigations, Ltd: 1-618-532-1152 or www.mcclaininvestigations.com Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Council: 1-877-746-0643 or www.mchc.com Morpho Trust USA (formerly L-1 Enrollment Services): 1-800-377-2080 orwww.identogo.comLivescan vendors report fingerprint background check results directly to the Health Care WorkerRegistry.2/27/20154710 Day Fingerprint RestrictionWhat if the job applicant does notget his/her fingerprint scandone within 10 working days? The FEE APP form is only good for 10 working days.The consequence for the applicant not getting theirfingerprints taken within 10 working days after theysigned the disclosure and authorization form is theagency suspends the applicant from working withindividuals served.2/27/20154824
2/27/2015Does the applicant have to complete a newLive-Scan form to start the process again?If the applicant does not get his/her fingerprint scan donewithin 10 working days, you will need to generate anotherLiveScan form but the process is much easier the secondtime. Go to the applicant’s profile page, click on theunderlined date and should take you to a screen where youselect “click here” to generate another LiveScan form with acurrent date. The worker is withdrawn from the IDPH webapplication if the worker fails to have the fingerprintingdone within 30 days.2/27/201549When to Use the Illinois State Police UCIABackground ChecksAgencies that don’t yet have access to the IDPH Health Alert Network(HAN) Web Portal will need to use the Illinois State Police UniformConviction Information Act (UCIA) background check method in theinterim. There are two types of forms that are used to request UCIAinformation: a non-fingerprint request form and a fingerprint requestform. The forms are available on the Illinois State Police Web site After the agency’s HAN web portal process is implemented, theycannot not go back to UCIA checks. Soon, only FEE APP backgroundchecks will be allowed.2/27/20155025
2/27/2015UCIA - Non-Fingerprint Conviction InformationRequest (Form ISP6-405B)A non-fingerprint background check (name-based) usesidentifiers in the search such as name, sex, race, and date ofbirth. Any criminal history record information found as aresult of a non-fingerprint based computerized criminalhistory check is based solely on a search of the identifiersprovided in the request. It is not uncommon for criminaloffenders to use alias names and dates of birth which couldadversely affect the results of a non-fingerprint basedsearch.2/27/201551UCIA NON-FINGERPRINT BACKGROUND CHECK(NAME-BASED) (cont.)A name-based background check may bring up severalpeople with the same name. If the applicant has the samename as a person with a disqualifying offense, a fingerprintbackground check could clear the applicant for employment.Or, it might verify that the applicant is, in fact, the personwith the disqualifying offense.2/27/20155226
2/27/2015UCIA FINGERPRINT CONVICTIONINFORMATION REQUEST (Form ISP6-404B )A fingerprint based criminal history record informationsearch confirms positive identification of the subject towhom the fingerprints belong contained on the fingerprintrequest form.The UCIA fingerprint check is more reliable than the namebased check but neither of these State Police UCIAbackground checks will notify agencies of any futureconvictions as the FEE APP Method does.2/27/201553Fingerprint-based Criminal History RecordsCheckA fingerprint-based criminal background check is not required foremployees who:– have been continuously employed with the same health careemployer since October 1, 2007, and– met the requirements for a criminal history background checkprior to October 1, 2007, and– have no disqualifying convictions or a IDPH waiver ofdisqualifying convictions.The law does not prohibit health care employers from initiating afingerprint criminal check for these employees or volunteers.Should such employees seek a position with a different healthcare employer, a fingerprint-based criminal check would berequired.2/27/20155427
2/27/2015What About Background Checks forVolunteers?The Health Care Worker Background Check Act (225 ILCS46/70) specifically excludes physicians and volunteers asindividuals that have "direct access" to residents and thusexempts them from the requirements of the Act. Thismeans the law does not require them to have a fingerprintbackground check or clearance. Nonetheless, we stronglyrecommend that providers run HCWR, DCFS State CentralRegister (CANTS), Illinois Sex Offender and HFS OIGSanction List clearances on volunteers.2/27/201555What if the Prospective Employee is alreadyListed on the HCWR? Look at the type of background check completed “FEE APP” indicates a fingerprint check was completed. Noadditional criminal background check is required. If theperson is hired, the provider must update its employmentinformation screen on the Health Alert Network. “UCIA” indicates either a name-based or non FEE APPfingerprint check was completed. A fingerprint-based(FEE APP) background check is required when an employeewith a UCIA background check changes employment.2/27/20155628
2/27/2015Documentation Agencies are required to maintain documentation that allemployees have had an Illinois State Police criminalbackground check result (FEE APP fingerprint or UCIA namebased or fingerprint) reported to the HCWR. All new hires must have a fingerprint criminal backgroundcheck (FEE APP) reported with no disqualifying criminalconvictions and no substantiated findings of abuse or neglectreported to the HCWR. Acceptable documentation of this includes print screens ofthe required registry clearances for all employees at time ofhire and annually thereafter.2/27/201557Documentation (cont.)The registries requiring documentation of clearances are: Health Care Worker Registry: Confirms DSP has had acriminal background check, no substantiated finding ofabuse, neglect or exploitation reported by the DHS InspectorGeneral (OIG), and no disqualifying criminal convictions. DCFS State Central Register (CANTS): Confirms whether therehas been a finding of abuse or neglect adjudicated byDCFS. If so, a waiver from DHS is required before the personcan work for DD providers. Illinois Sex Offender Registry: Confirms there are no criminalconvictions or outstanding warrants for sex-related offensesreported by this registry.2/27/20155829
2/27/2015Illinois Sex Offender RegistryThis section covers: Purpose Address Search Tips Documenting Search Results Common Mistakes2/27/201559Distinguishing Between theIllinois and National Registries The HAN FEE APP Livescan Request Form process requiresbackground clearances of the National Sex Offender Registryand the National HHS-OIG “sanctions list.” The HAN provideslinks to these sites. However, background clearances requiredby the FEE APP process do not automatically meet theDHS/DDD contractual requirements. The DHS/DDD contractrequires clearances of the Illinois Sex Offender registry and theIllinois Health and Human Services OIG Sanctions list.2/27/20156030
