One of the most common mistakes companies make when hiring new personnel
is not verifying the person’s identity. Verifying identity is critical
to ensure an employer does not become the victim of an applicant guilty of identity theft.
Social security Number verification and SSN validation are the ideal
way to ensure an applicant is really who they say they are.
Social Security Number verification and SSN validation should always
be the first step in pre-employment screening, because the accuracy of additional
screening reports can be compromised if you aren’t confident of the
person’s identity.
SSN validation
SSN validation first verifies that the number exists in the system. Next,
the report provides the state in which the SSN was issued, the year it
was issued, and if it is a currently active number, or if a death claim
has been filed in relation to the number. This is a vital check for any
applicant, and should be considered as the first line of defense against
fraud and against Social Security Number identity theft applicants.
SSN verification
SSN verification is slightly different than SSN validation. SSN verification
checks the name, date of birth, and gender associated with the SSN number,
which will indicate any incorrect information being used by the applicant.
However, in accordance with the Social Security Administration regulations
an individual must currently be working for your company in order to verify
their SSN. PeopleCheck can verify all current employee’s as a third
party verifier with the SSA.
