Are States required to protect the privacy of the results of the background checks?

Yes, the State will provide the results of the background check to the child care provider in a statement that indicates whether the staff member is eligible or ineligible, without revealing specific disqualifying information.  If the staff member is ineligible, the State will provide information about each disqualifying crime to the staff member, as well as information on how to appeal the results of the background check to challenge the accuracy and completeness.
