AGENCY: Department of Health and Human Services. Operations. Division of Licensing and Background Checks.

SERIES: 28130
TITLE: Child care non-clearance case files
DATES: 2008-
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by last name.

DESCRIPTION: Parents who receive child care assistance payments through the Department of Workforce Services may obtain child care from a parent, sibling, relative, or friend (Utah Code 35A-3-310.5). Friends or family members who provide child care are not licensed providers, but if they are to receive payment for their services, they are still required to obtain a criminal background check. The Health Department maintains information about potential friend/family member child care providers who did not pass the background check and therefore are ineligible to be paid for child care. No files are created or maintained for individuals who are cleared. Documents include letters, attestation forms, criminal background screening/licensing information system (CBS/LIS) denial form, and any other documentation regarding the applicant's criminal record. If the subject of a non-clearance case file subsequently has his/her criminal case expunged, the expungement order is included in the file as evidence that the record has been cleared.
