CHRC Questions and Answers Regarding New ACF Requirement

As of Jan. 1, 2015, all Adult Care Facilities (ACFs) must conduct criminal history record checks on certain employees. We now have the Frequently Asked Questions document regarding the new requirement; click here to view.

We hope that you participated in a webinar provided by the Department of Health in December 2014. Click here to view the PowerPoint that was presented and here for the Dear Administrator Letter, which provides more details about the requirement. Click here for the form used to set up a Statewide Financial System account.

We strongly encourage members to review all of the material to ensure that you have taken the necessary steps to be in compliance with this requirement and get reimbursed for the checks. Let us know how the new process is going and if you have any questions.
