What is an SSN Validation?
Including an SSN Validation as part of a background check is an important part of the screening process. The SSN Validation returns information related to a Social Security number to identify aliases and address history. That information can help determine which counties to search based on where the individual lived and whether the criminal records should also be searched under alias names for a comprehensive background check.
An SSN Validation provides the following information:
• The year the SSN was issued
• The state in which the SSN was issued
• Associated names, including aliases and maiden names
• Recent and associated addresses
This search gathers information from a multitude of sources such as credit bureaus, public records (real property) and moving records from mailing houses. NCS' SSN Validation that is included in the NCS featured packages, searches credit headers and association algorithms in over 20 billion records.
What is the Difference Between the SSN Validation and the SSN Verification?
An SSN Validation pulls a wide range of information regarding the submitted number and is typically used during pre-employment background checks to validate the number. The SSN verification through the CBSV SSA ID Verification search confirms the name and SSN number of an employee matches the Social Security Administration's record.
