National Service Criminal History Checks Recordkeeping Requirement

The National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended by the Serve America Act of 2009, requires AmeriCorps grantees and subgrantees to conduct a National Service Criminal History Check on individuals in covered positions before they begin service, and maintain documentation that the individuals were screened according to statutory requirements and are not prohibited from serving in the covered position. AmeriCorps and its grantees must ensure that national service beneficiaries are protected from harm and the recordkeeping requirements of the final rule are critical to that responsibility.
