444 (07/2026) Chapter 2:Eligibility • Section 6: Non-financial eligibility CCLD has determined that foster care certification history may, depending on the history, substantially jeopardize the safety of child care children and could be inconsistent with any position of unsupervised contact with children. If a subject individual discloses foster care certification history, CCLD will seek to obtain and review information related to the history, including information from the subject individual, subject to section (9) of OAR 414-061-0050. Based on this information, CCLD will make a decision whether or not to enroll, suspend or remove the subject individual in or from the Central Background Registry. Determination of Suitability Factors to be considered in determining suitability, based on information available to CCLD and information provided by the subject individual, are outlined in OAR 414-061-0050 include: (a) The nature of the child abuse and neglect, foster care, adult protective services, or criminal history; (b) The facts that support the child abuse and neglect, foster care, adult protective services, or criminal history or that indicate the making of a false statement; (c) The relevancy of the child abuse and neglect, foster care, adult protective services, criminal history, or false statement to the individual’s enrollment in the Central Background Registry; and (d) Intervening circumstances relevant to the individual’s enrollment in the Central Background Registry, including but not limited to: (A) The passage of time since the child abuse and neglect, foster care, adult protective services, or criminal history; (B) The age of the individual at the time of the child abuse and neglect, foster care, adult protective services, or criminal history; (C) The likelihood of repetition of the incident or the commission of another crime; (D) The existence of subsequent child abuse and neglect, foster care, adult protective services, or criminal history; (E) The recommendation of an employer, if provided; (F) For criminal history, whether the conviction was set aside or overturned and the legal effect of that setting aside or overturning; and (G) For child abuse and neglect, foster care, or adult protective services, whether the subject individual has had an opportunity to contest the abuse finding through the agency or entity that made the finding and, if so, the status of any such challenge. CCLD will not bar from enrollment in the Central Background Registry any subject individual because of the existence or contents of a juvenile record that has been expunged by the court. Denial notifications If the Child Care Licensing Division (CCLD) determines a provider is not eligible for payment based on a criminal history or a protective service records check, they will send the provider a denial notice. The notice to the provider will include the following information: • The provider is entitled to a review of the circumstances related to their denial. To request a review, the provider must send the information to the CCLD.
