All applicants to the Public Authority Registry will be required to undergo a Department of Justice Criminal Background Investigation to determine if the applicant has ever been convicted of certain violations of the Penal Code. Applicants who do not “clear” the DOJ check will not be listed on the Registry. The cost for fingerprinting is the applicant’s responsibility (the cost is approximately $70).

Consent(Required)

I understand that the information on this application may also be shared with prospective employers. I also understand that my employer is not Contra Costa In-Home Services Public Authority (IHSS). The IHSS client is my employer. I understand that I am responsible for paying the fees associated with the Criminal Background Investigation (CBI).

I further understand that passing CBI does not guarantee employment. I also understand that the Public Authority DOES NOT guarantee employment. The Public Authority is a referral service for consumers and providers; it is not an employment agency.
