Part of the CHC waiver discussions that began with the Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL) this spring related to mandatory background checks for employees. Since this discussion, OLTL has decided not to move forward with this change in the renewal and amendment submitted to CMS. This change in position was a result of the subsequent public comments and feedback on the collateral impacts.

Also contributing to this reversal were coordinated advocacy efforts by RCPA’s Coalition for Choice partners, resulting in the elimination of the requirement for federal background checks, including FBI fingerprinting, for over 125,000 caregivers and direct care workers for services in the Community HealthChoices and OBRA waivers. The costs for these mandatory background checks would have been in excess of $50 per employee.

The resulting decision will be included in the review and presentation of changes during the LTSS meeting next Wednesday, November 6. At this time, the background check requirements remain under consideration by OLTL for future amendments and renewals.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to Fady Sahhar.
