Do you need a Social Security Number (SSN) to run a Background Check? A SSN (Social Security Number) is NOT required to run a comprehensive background search. The SSN can be developed in Due Diligence & In-Depth Background Checks to determine counties of residence. When conducting pre-employment background checks prior address history is often asked and required to be provided by the applicant. Important Take-Aways: + Criminal are records are indexed by name and date of birth, NOT Social Security Numbers. + Civil cases are indexed by name only, NO Social Security Numbers. + Federal Bankruptcy cases can have social security numbers. +++++ I am passionate about Risk Mitigation. I want educate business owners on what they can do to mitigate risk in their businesses and how protect themselves from those in their inner circle. I will also be providing some strategic advice on how to be prepared for, investigate and deal more effectively with litigation and workers comp claims if and when they arise. And now a little bit of background on me. I have been an investigative consultant to businesses and legal counsel for over 15 years. I am a license private investigator in the state of California and have testified as an expert in case involving Workers Comp, Counterfeiting and a variety of other civil cases. I own and operate my own Investigative Consulting business here in California and I enjoy speaking to businesses and law firms about current trends in litigation, technology and investigative strategy. I believe that businesses must implement certain strategies to mitigate exposure to Embezzlement, Fraud, Workers Comp Claims, Trade Secrets theft and many other employment related claims. In today’s litigious environment you cannot eliminate law suits, but you can implement practices to reduce overall exposure.
