On this episode I talk about the issues that the social security number trace / person search / address history can cause as part of a background screening report.
Generally speaking the SSN trace is bad data. The true source of the data cannot be confirmed and it cannot be verified.
The legal guidance suggests that the SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TRACE should no longer be part of a background screening report (client facing report or consumer facing report).
It should be used by background screeners to develop address history and potential alias names.
