FAQ

Our customer service agents at Verification Services Inc. frequently receive the following questions from potential clients. Please review the information we have provided below, and call us at 800-809-7732 for more information about our pre-employment verification services.

What if the Social Security Number (SSN) Does Not Match the Person’s Name?

If the social security number does not match the applicant’s name, the applicant must go to the Social Security Administration to straighten out the discrepancies before proceeding.

Why is a Background Check Important?

Knowing who your employees are and their past behaviors, limits your risks and liabilities. For example, an employee who has filed lawsuits against previous employers may put you at risk of lawsuits against your business. An applicant who constantly changes employment may increase your company’s turnover rate, at the time and expense of your business. A background check gives you peace of mind in knowing that you’ve hired the right individual for your company.

What is Included in a Typical Background Check?

A typical background check consists of social security verification and trace, in addition to a comprehensive criminal history check.

Is Verification Services Inc. Legal / Certified?

Yes. We undergo annual site inspections and audits from statewide repositories, Transunion, Equifax, and the state DMV. We have met all the criteria for the guidelines for client on-boarding certifications, FCRA, and CFPB.

How Does Verifications Services Inc. Ensure Accurate Information?

Please see our Quality Guarantee.

What Information is Needed for an Accurate Background Check?

For a complete, accurate background check, the signed release form provided must include:

  • Full name
  • DOB
  • Social security number
  • Signature

Does an Applicant Have to Consent to a Background Check?

Due to FCRA Compliance, every applicant must give a signed to consent to perform a background check.

How Can I Verify an Applicant’s Work and Education History?

You simply need to request the services. Our Tier B package allows you to verify this information.

How Much Time Does a Background Check Take To Complete?

A background check is typically completed within 1 to 3 business days. However, when criminal offenses are found an extra day may be needed to retrieve the docket from the corresponding court.

FCRA Compliance

What is the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)?

When you work with VSI, you can be assured that we are in full compliance with the governing standards in our industry. VSI provides FCRA compliance information and templates of all letters and forms necessary to comply with FCRA employment background screening requirements, including:

  • Applicant Consent and Disclosure forms
  • Adverse Action letters
  • Summary of Consumer Rights

The FCRA is designed to protect individuals by promoting accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of every Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA). Most CRAs are credit bureaus that gather and provide information about individuals. Companies that perform pre-employment screening services, such as VSI are also governed by the FCRA, as are the employers that use VSI’s background screening services. As an employer, it is important to be aware of the limitations and regulations instated by the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), as failing to meet these standards may result in litigation and fines against your organization.

What Does the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Entail?

As an employer, you must adhere to the following guidelines:

An Applicant Must Be Told If the Information in Their File was Used Against Them

Anyone who uses a credit report or another type of consumer report to deny an application for credit, insurance, or employment – or to take another adverse action against an applicant – must inform the applicant, and provide the name, address, and phone number of the agency that provided the information. (Upon request, VSI will provide Adverse Action templates)

An Applicant Has the Right to Know What is in Their File

An applicant may request and obtain all the information in the files of a consumer reporting agency. They will be required to provide proper identification, which may include a social security number. (Upon request, VSI will provide the completed report to the applicant)

File Limitations May Apply

Access to an applicant’s file is limited. A consumer reporting agency may provide information about an applicant only to people with a valid need – usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, landlord, or other business. The FCRA specifies those with a valid need for access.

An applicant must give consent for reports to be provided to employers. A consumer reporting agency may not give out information about an applicant to an employer, or potential employer, without written consent by the candidate. (VSI provides all consent and disclosure forms)
