CDCN will complete the following background checks on attendant applicants:
1. Criminal History Record Name Search
People convicted of barrier crimes cannot be hired to work in the Virginia Consumer-Directed Services Program. CDCN will request a check of records from the Virginia State Police for the applicant. The police will inform CDCN if the individual has been convicted of a crime and, if so, will provide a list of criminal convictions.
2. List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE)
The US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) maintains the LEIE. This list contains names of people with findings of program-related fraud, patient abuse or licensing board actions.

If the Participant is 17 years old or younger, then the Attendant must complete the Virginia DSS Central Registry Check to provide services.
