Employability Status Check Changes As Of September 7th, 2025
HHSC recently moved the Employability Status Check search to the Texas Unified Licensure Information Portal (TULIP).
FYI-An issue was found by HHSC, during the transition process, with the Employability Status Check data retrieval process, which is causing some difficulty for providers conducting due diligence searches.
HHSC is working diligently to resolve the problem.. Providers will be notified about a workaround if it is not fixed in a timely fashion.
-
What do you need to do?
- Providers must now use the my.site.com/EMR/ link to conduct employability status checks in TULIP.
- If the previous Employability Status Check website is accessed, please click on the home link to be directed to the new employability searches in TULIP.
- The new searches in TULIP now display the search criteria and “no results found” on the same screen. A fix is now deployed to include a User Guide.
- Please reference the User Guide which can be accessed on the new Employability Status Check search page under the heading “additional links” located at the bottom left-hand side of the page.
- To remain in compliance, providers must redo all searches conducted from Sept. 7, 2025, to Sept. 12, 2025, and take a screenshot of the results, including the date and time for searches that yield “no results found.”
- As required by Title 26 of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 561, Rule 561.3, providers must search the Employee Misconduct Registry and Nurse Aide Registry to determine if the person applying for employment is listed as unemployable on either registry. With the transition of the Employability Status Check to TULIP, providers are now required to conduct both searches in TULIP.
