Commonly used as a foundation for background screening, the Social Security Screening helps employers confirm the most basic information provided by an applicant – their identity. Although the SSN Verification cannot be used exclusively as the basis for a hiring decision or to determine employment eligibility, this is one of the most frequently employed tools when initiating a background screen.
Social Security Validation
This check provides the year and issuing state for an applicant’s SSN. It also determines if the SSN was validly issued or just a number that the potential hire pulled out of thin air. CompuFACT also provides a cross-check to determine if the number belongs to a deceased individual.
In order to accurately perform these cross-checks, we utilize the Death Master Index. This is just one of the many ways CompuFACT adds an extra layer of protection when validating SSN’s.

Social Security Trace
The Social Security Trace is a vital first step that is used in the criminal background check process. This trace locates an applicant’s previous addresses and can also reveal alias names that a person has used. This information provides a great tool for selecting jurisdictions in which to search for criminal records

Consent Based Verification
This is the absolute best pre-hire search for determining if an SSN actually belongs to the person who provided it. The search validates that a name and SSN match the data in the Social Security Administration’s Records. It also adds an additional layer of protection by cross-referencing the Death Master Index files.
