View Criminal Record Check Results

Go to the Kansas Nurse Aid Registry
Select the second option titled "Health Care Facility Access"
Enter your Facility ID # and click "submit"
Select "Employment List / Employment Verification Page"
Here you will have a listing of all employees currently affiliated with your facility. Across from each name will be a “View Results” button once the Criminal Record Check is completed. When you click this button it will have one of two results:
1. No Criminal History: Will populate a word document that states this individual does not have a criminal history. You will print this off and put it in their file.
2. Criminal History Match: Will give you a message that states it has been determined that the individual does have a criminal history and that we will mail the results; however, this does not necessarily mean the person is prohibited. Once the history has been reviewed a letter is only mailed if the individual is prohibited from working.

KanCheck Implementation News

When Senate Substitute for Senate Substitute for House Bill 2386 (originally HB 2427) passed in the 2018 session it amended the criminal record check statutes for Adult Care Homes (K.S.A. 39-970), Home Health Agencies (K.S.A. 65-5117) and HCBS (K.S.A. 39-2009).

Many of the amendments became effective July 1, 2018 and have been implemented. However, the national fingerprint-based criminal record check was not implemented at that time. Implementation will begin in 2020 and go through 2021. The online portal built for that purpose is called KanCheck.

Update 2022

Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) was working with a group of volunteer facilities to conduct a Mini Pilot of KanCheck in early January 2020 and ended in March 2020. Due to COVID-19 and other unforeseen circumstances, the mini pilot of KanCheck came to an end and a decision has been made at this time to not resume. In the meantime, name-based checks are still required to be requested through the current portal.
