Bi-Annual Automated Criminal Check (Due December 31, 2014)
First Steps providers are required to obtain a criminal history check during each even numbered year and submit a copy to the CFO by December 31st of that year. NOTE: The automated check is NOT a full criminal background/fingerprint check.

There is a small fee for the criminal check. Once the automated check is complete, providers need to make sure they open the PDF and print out the actual results. Providers must send a copy of the criminal history check to:
Provider Enrollment/CSC Attn: Missouri Provider Enrollment
PO Box 29134
Shawnee Mission, KS 66201-9134
