NEW ALASKA BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM (NABCS) The Department of Health (DOH), Division of Health Care Services, Alaska Background Check Program (BCP) provides centralized background check support for programs that provide for the health, safety, and welfare of persons who are served by the programs administered by the DOH. Individuals applying to become child care providers or who reside in a child care facility must obtain clearance regarding their criminal background. NABCS is the on-line system for processing background check applications and receiving results. Information about the BCP can be obtained at: http://DOH.alaska.gov/dhcs/Pages/cl/bgcheck ADVERSE ACTION CALENDAR Families and providers must be given ten (10) days’ notice prior to the last day of the month, based on the Adverse Action Calendar, advising the adverse (negative) action will affect benefits or program participation the first (1st) day of the following month. DPA Field Services produce a monthly calendar, commonly known as the Adverse Action Calendar, to assist workers in determining timeframes related to case processing. This calendar also assists workers in determining the last date an action can be taken in the current month to implement the change the following month. The Adverse Action Calendar reflects ten (10), fifteen (15) and thirty (30) day timeframes, without asterisks, for the due dates when requesting information from the applicant. It also identifies due dates with asterisks as noted in the legend, for taking action on reports of change, and for making a determination on an application. The Adverse Action Calendar identifies different programs in dates within the calendar. The calendar is distributed each month by DPA Field Services to the CCPO and partners via email or can be accessed at: http://dpaweb.hss.state.ak.us/main/PDF/adverseAction.pdf
