I'm a little bit confused on what can be found through your social security number. Before getting employed through my possible new job, one of the criteria for employment is to sign a US Resident Criminal Authorization Form. Aside from the requirement of your signature, it asks the question:Have you ever been convicted of any Criminal Violation of the law other than a minor traffic violation or are you now under pending investigation or charges... and then of course your SSN, birth date, and current address.
1st question: Without taking your fingerprints, how can they do a criminal background search based on your SSN alone?
2nd question: If I have a charge that is suspended through a conditional discharge for a year (which means I have not been convicted nor is it pending anymore), do I say no to this question.
3rd question: Does the suspended charge show up as suspended through a criminal background search - another words what does a current conditional discharge say on your criminal history search?
Please - someone who knows these answers for sure help me put my mind at rest.
