   "record_more": "There are exceptions. Some federal programs require rechecks: child care and Head Start staff at least once every five years (45 CFR 98.43(d)(2)(ii); 45 CFR 1302.90(b)(5)), and Defense Department child and youth programs every five years (32 CFR 86.6(e)(1)). A recent child care result can carry over to another child care provider in the same state (45 CFR 98.43(d)(3)). Some states and employers recheck or monitor on their own: by November 2023 Texas had enrolled more than 5 million FBI Rap Back subscriptions, covering teachers, nurses and other workers, and in a 2015 federal review 58 percent of the sampled home health agencies ran periodic checks after hiring. A Rap Back watch belongs to the employer or agency that set it up and lasts only while that relationship does; it must be removed when, for example, the person changes occupations or retires. No federal law requires every volunteer to be checked. Under 34 U.S.C. 40102(a)(1), states may establish procedures requiring designated qualified organizations to request nationwide checks. The federal rules that do reach volunteers cover specific programs, such as regulated child care, Defense Department youth programs, programs serving Indian children and Medicare hospices; the volunteers section of this page lists them with their citations. People in paid or stipended national service positions must also be checked (42 U.S.C. 12645g(a)).",

HHS told Congress in 2009 that the registry was not feasible under the law's limits, and in 2012 that those limits on identifying information would prevent it from accurately identifying perpetrators; the 2012 report said no funds had been appropriated to build it.",

The report called these policies out of compliance with the federal child care rules. In 2024 HHS reworded the rule to say plainly that a new worker may start, under supervision, only after a qualifying result on one of the two fingerprint checks; it said the earlier wording had caused some confusion but that the requirement itself did not change (45 CFR 98.43(d)(4); 89 FR 15386). These plans were written during the pandemic, and the states' policies may have changed since. In Washington, one of the listed states, a pandemic proclamation had waived the fingerprint requirement, and new workers could work under supervision after submitting their background application; the state ended that on July 1, 2022. The report does not say whether other listed states were under emergency orders.",

Each employer, agency and state usually runs its own check, and a result usually does not carry over to the next job. Where the FBI's Rap Back service keeps watching, the watch belongs to the agency that set it up and must be removed when that relationship ends. A child care check does not carry into another state: the provider in the new state must request new searches, including of every state the worker lived in during the past five years. Child care is a partial exception within a state, where a recent result can move with the worker to a new provider, and Texas child care reuses an active Rap Back subscription instead of taking new fingerprints.",

Most children confirmed as maltreated were maltreated by a parent, and no job check reaches a parent at home. Checks still keep some people with disqualifying convictions out of care jobs, as the Inspector General's counts show. The CDC's 2007 guide for youth-serving organizations makes the same point: 'Use background checks as one part of child sexual abuse prevention efforts. Using background checks alone may give your organization a false sense of security.'",

Agencies do keep files: foster care agencies must document criminal records checks, and federal eligibility reviews check licensing files for that documentation (45 CFR 1356.30(a) and 1356.71(g)). Federal child care law keeps individual results private and lets states publish only aggregated data by crime (42 U.S.C. 9858f(e)(2)(C)), so a public record would show that checks were done, not what they found. Some states publish totals; New York's Justice Center, for example, publishes monthly counts of its checks by outcome. Audits show why a checkable record matters. In 2020 the HHS Inspector General found that 29 of 31 Kansas foster care group homes 'did not comply or could not provide documentation' of required employee background checks; Kansas did not concur with that finding, the Inspector General said it did not conclude the checks were never done, and its recommendations were closed as implemented in 2022. The same year it found that Rhode Island child care providers had not obtained or renewed required checks for 108 of 589 people reviewed; Rhode Island partially agreed, and the recommendations were closed as implemented in 2021.",

   "record_more": "A designated entity decides whether the person 'has been convicted of, or is under pending indictment for, a crime that bears upon' their fitness to care for children, the elderly or people with disabilities (40102(b)(4)), using criteria the attorney general must set by rule (40102(f)(2)(B) and (C)). The organization that asked for the check still makes its own decision about the person. Only a federal agency is excluded; the FBI's 2018 request for information asked whether any 'State Central Record Repository, non-profit or private business' was interested.",
