This individual is eligible to be employed as a CNA in a long-term care facility if there has been no finding of abuse, neglect or misappropriation of property. The employer must check to see that the individual does not have a Federal Indicator or is not listed on the Missouri Employee Disqualification List (EDL) before employing the individual.

Department of Health and Senior Services Office of General Counsel 912 Wildwood P.O. Box 570 Jefferson City, MO 65102Federal Regulation 42 CFR 483.012 requires the Registry to document any findings against a CNA of Abuse, Neglect, or Misappropriation of Property. Any individual who is a CNA, employed in a certified facility and found guilty of Abuse, Neglect, or Misappropriation of Property will receive a Federal Indicator on the Missouri State Registry.
Certified long-term care facilities and the long-term care wing of a hospital are prohibited from allowing a person to work or volunteer, in any capacity, whose name appears on the Registry with a Federal Indicator. These providers are required to check the Registry before allowing the individual to work or volunteer and they must not continue to employ a person whose name appears on the Registry with a Federal Indicator.
CNA Registry verification is required of employers before allowing an individual to serve as a Certified Nurse Assistant. The employer must seek Registry verification from all states the facility believes will have information on the individual.
