Employability Status Check Instructions Sept. 15, 2025
To: All LTC Providers Required to Conduct Employability Status Searches
HHSC recently moved the Employability Status Check search to the Texas Unified Licensure Information Portal (TULIP). During this transition, Regulatory staff identified an issue with the Employability Status Check data retrieval process, which is currently causing some difficulty for providers conducting due diligence searches.
HHSC is working to resolve this issue. We appreciate your patience and anticipate a solution to be implemented soon.
What do you need to do?
- Moving forward, providers will need to use the following link to check employability status in TULIP: txhhsregulatory.my.site.com/EMR/.
- 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.
- The Employability Status Check search checks licensure status (Nurse Aides, Medication Aides and NFAs).
- The Employability Status Check search does not display anything when no records are found. The lack of results means the person is not part of the searched registry. Screenshot this search, including the search criteria and computer date and time. Until a fix is deployed, follow this guidance.
- The EMR search displays the first name, last name and social security number when no records are found. To download the results, click the download button in the top right corner of the yellow results bar. The download contains the date and time of the search. If no date is present under “Misconduct Registry Enter Date,” the searched person is NOT on the EMR.
