Employment Verification Process is Changing for the Loan Repayment Program

September 26, 2025

We want to let you know that the employment verification process for the Community Behavioral Health Care Professional Loan Repayment Program has changed to make it easier for both facilities and applicants. In the past, you verified employment using ISAC’s GAP Access system, which required account setup, logins, and regular maintenance. That system is no longer being used.
