ii. Describe how these requirements, policies and procedures apply to all other providers eligible to deliver CCDF services (e.g., license-exempt CCDF eligible providers), in accordance with 98.43(a)(1)(i) and 98.16(o). Describe and provide citations In-state child abuse and neglect registry requirements for all CCDF/Subsidy Licensed Exempt Providers (License-Exempt and License-Exempt In-Home):

The Lead Agency will conduct background checks on the provider and household members with the in-state Child Abuse and Neglect Central Register and the Adult Protective Services Central Registry on the CCDF/Subsidy provider (license and license- exempt), and on each household member age 13 or older if the center is located in a private residence. Regulations require a license-exempt provider to be 19 or older.

The Lead Agency conducts checks on CCDF/Subsidy Licensee/owner for Family Child Care Home I/I, staff of Family Child Care Home II, and household members age 13 or older if the Family Child Care Home is located on a private residence. Checks are only completed on directors at CCDF/Subsidy child care centers. Licensing regulations apply for center staff (as stated in the previous question).

Current CCDF/Subsidy staff for the CCDF/Subsidy providers noted above complete central registry checks annual. However, due the recent central registry process changes and new cost associated with it, The Lead Agency is working on processes to start completing these checks once every five years. Once a provider is approved for CCDF/Subsidy, the Lead Agency would receive an alert on the provider or any household member should there be an intake or their name is on the registry.
