2 Job offer was withdrawn due to INVALID result from background check

[POA 178]

Oh, well you shouldn't lie on forms like that. The US does not like lying, even white lies. It probably won't be a problem, but that is a good habit to break.

Good luck.

I know it is not a good thing and that is the only job I didn't mention. Hay.. I really feel terrible.

[POA 178]

Do they really call the Philippines though? Unless there is some super specialized type of job, or a security issue, I wouldn't think they would take the extra mile.

It's kinda specialized job and we will be dealing with the federal agencies who uses our software. I called the sterling and they said it will take 2 weeks since it involves international verification.

Good luck then, hope it all works out!

I can't even apply for a receptionist job at a VA (Veterans Affairs) location because I am not a citizen.

Thanks! It's not actually directly with the Federal Agencies, It's just the software they are using. But I am really happy.

[TBoneTX 46,124]

Fingers crossed for you.

[POA 178]

Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks TBoneTX! I alfready signed the I-9 form for both Sterling and my employer plus a bunch of agreements and non-disclosure agreements. I am also happy I am part of the Distro list and invited on the company event.

Hi Guys! I have another question related to one of the Job offers I got. I got the letter from the company (the one who withdraw the job offer) that said, The results of the consumer report that I authorized to have them performed on were reviewed for disqualifying attributes that is why the job offer was withdrawn. I was trying to search for those disqualifying attributes but could hardly find one. I was just wondering if anyone of you guys have any idea what could these be.

POA: To get any answers about the "failed" background check, you need to ask them what they are checking and what database they are using. Is it just everify? Is it a credit check? What is it?

Did you ask for a copy of the background check to be sent to you?

Actually I already know what they were looking for. I got alert on Address history and Identity check, which was searched by my name and ssn and came back UNABLE TO VALIDATE and UNAVAILABLE,(due to my name discrepancy) and no address history, and another alerts on my Education and Employment which have messages PLEASE CONTACT VERICON FOR AUTHORIZATION TO VERIFY INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION AND PRICING.

But the letter I received in the mail was from the employer who withdrawn my offer and said the consumer report reviewed for disqualifying attributes. I was just thinking what do they mean for disqualifying attributes. I was reading federal law and state law in MN and it seems like mine falls under discrimination for national origin since they didn't even bother asking me for further info regarding my education and employment and didn't even bother to double check my ssn and just denied me the job a day before my training starts.

P.S. My current offer is still on and waiting for my background check to be completed by Friday and they are doing international check without asking me to pay.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Wait. What? You PAID for these background checks?

POA, there seems to be a lot of confusion and misinformation here. I can try to parse it out, but I am not sure what they are trying to do, which is why I was asking.

All you need to do to get hired is present a properly completed I-9 form. Employers can elect to do e-verify, which is an electronic check on your SSN to make sure you are work authorized. You should check that yourself and see what it says. You are work authorized, and I am not sure why a slight name discrepancy changes that. I don't think it does.

A SSN does not have your address on it, so what are they checking? You don;t report changes of address to the SSA.

Education and Employment? What? Of course your SSN does not have your education and employment on it. That is not what is on your SSN. What are they doing?

International verification? The company can call your references if they like. You don't need to pay a company to do that.

So, if you PAID for this, then I sincerely suspect it is a scam of some sort. What is the job?

A SSN is ONLY a unique number to keep track of your retirement benefits. That is all. It is NOT a national ID number and it does not hold your address, your education, or anything else.

DId you pay for this? And what is the job?

NEVER pay up front to get a job, for anything.

- Self-Disclosed Offense Declaration (Nationwide)

- VeriFynd (Nationwide)

- National Criminal Information Bureau (Nationwide)

- Consumer Report (Nationwide)

- County Coverages (Nationwide)

BC was done by ASURINT. They sent me the report for free.

The job that was withdrawn was a call center job. They ran a background check for:

• Identity and address history,
• Education,
• Employment
• Criminal Records - Federal, Statewide and National Criminal Database
• Sex offender Search
• OFAC/ Patriot Act

I received the hard copy of the background check report and the first 3 came back with alerts.

Then on Friday i got the letter from the employer telling me about the disqualifying attributes which was the reason for the withdrawal of the job offer (for this call center job)

Did you have a complete on the result summary for all? Vericon did my first background but hopefully the last check I currently have with Sterling will be better.

I didn't pay for it and do not plan to do so. Vericon was the one who was asking me to call them for authorization for international background check and pricing. I didn't call them since I just let the job go. I just want to file a complaint against the employer but before I do so I want to understand what are the disqualifying attributes.

Okay, so you are a new immigrant, and whatever they are checking, it will come up blank. There is no central address registry, no central education registry, no central employment registry. They must be checking with private companies that track SSNs but that has nothing to do with the SSA.

All they can check, that will be meaningful for you, at this point, is that you are authorized to work. This is what I was trying to pin down, to try to find the problem. It sounds like something was a little funny with the SSA but that should not affect your ability to work. The other stuff, is the private company's problem. Of course their info will be incomplete, they collect this data themselves.

If they disqualify you for their own systems being lacking, then you might have a case for discrimination based on national origin. But it is worth it to you to pursue it?

Mine says "NO RECORDS FOUND". Good thing because my employer said I'm "cleared" and I "passed" the background check.

With regards to our education (college degrees), they will suggest a company like WES for evaluation.
