Special Categories for CORI Access

An elderly person or disabled person shall be permitted to obtain CORI to screen employment applicants or employees for positions which may provide assistance within the home of the elderly person or disabled person; in order to do so, it is necessary to complete the On Behalf of/Home Health Aide CORI Request Form. (a) A legally designated representative may also obtain CORI for this purpose on behalf of an elderly person or disabled person. (b) A requestor using the On Behalf of/Home Health Aide CORI Request Form shall receive Required 2 Access as defined in 803 CMR 2.05. (c) A requestor using On Behalf of/Home Health Aide CORI Request Form shall not be subject to the provisions of 803 CMR 2.20. A requestor who wishes to obtain CORI beyond what is available via Open Access may contact DCJIS to request such access. Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 6, § 172(a)(6), the Commissioner of DCJIS may provide expanded access to CORI if he or she finds that expanding access serves the public interest. Upon such a finding, the Commissioner shall also determine the extent of expanded CORI access.
