Talk about last minute
May. 29th, 2003 11:09 pmJust found out this afternoon that the temp assignment I'm starting tomorrow won't let me start work until they complete a background check. They work with Medicaid, so our new 9/11 laws require:
"...to ensure that they have not been sanctioned or excluded from participation in federal or state healthcare programs by a federal or state law enforcement, regulatory, or licensing agency."
"...in order to confirm that there are no criminal convictions or civil judgements related to the delivery of healthcare, actions by federal or state agencies responsible for licensing or certification of health care providers, suppliers, practitioners, exclusions from federal or state health care programs, and certain final adverse actions taken by health plans."
"...may also perform a search of the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets’ Specially Designated Nationals (OFAC SDN) list as may be required by the U.S. Patriot Act of 2001. The OFAC SDN contains the names and aliases of individuals/organizations that have had financial transactions and property blocked by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control."
"...discloses to you that a consumer report will be obtained for employment purposes as part of the pre-employment background investigation and at any time during your employment."
The long and short of it? I have to take it up the ass on privacy for a two-week temp assignment.
Fuck'n A.
On another note, I think I'm going to give up on SNAFU and just publish 'Stand in the Ruins.' (Part IV of Beg Me For It.) The muse is not cooperating. Nor is the muse cooperating on Snape Manor and I'm ready to shelve what I have so far.
