Verify SSN Data with Federal Confidence
Consent Based Social Security Number Verification cross references
candidate SSN against Social Security Administration records to confirm
the number matches provided name and date of birth through federal validation.
WHY IT’S BETTER
Synthetic identities and SSN fraud bypass basic screening controls, creating payroll fraud exposure and workers compensation manipulation that costs thousands per incident before schemes are discovered.
CBSV validates whether an SSN matches the provided name and date of birth according to Social Security Administration records, providing federal confirmation that basic checks cannot match.
Candidate consent is collected before SSN verification occurs, ensuring documented authorization that protects your organization from FCRA violations and demonstrates lawful processing.
Results are returned in a standardized format from authoritative federal sources, eliminating the guesswork and false confidence that unverified SSN data creates during identity confirmation.
When disputes arise or auditors review hiring practices, documented verification steps and federal source citations demonstrate the diligence that defends your decisions and protects your organization.

Consent Based SSN Verification cross-references a candidate’s SSN against Social Security Administration records to confirm the number matches their provided name and date of birth. This federal validation catches identity mismatches and fraud attempts that bypass basic screening checks. Your hiring decisions gain the authoritative backing that protects against compliance violations and fraud losses.
Federal law requires documented authorization before accessing Social Security Administration verification systems, making consent a legal prerequisite, not an optional courtesy. Operating without proper consent exposes your organization to FCRA violations and penalties. GCheck’s authorization workflow ensures every verification is backed by defensible consent documentation.
No, CBSV confirms that the SSN matches the provided name and date of birth in federal records but does not verify the candidate has legal authorization to use that number. This distinction matters because CBSV strengthens identity confidence without replacing other verification controls. Your screening program should layer CBSV with additional identity and work authorization checks for complete coverage.
Most CBSV verifications return results within seconds to minutes once consent is obtained and candidate identifiers are submitted to federal systems. Processing speed enables real-time verification that keeps onboarding moving without delays. Your hiring team receives immediate confirmation or discrepancy alerts that support fast, confident decisions.
A discrepancy indicates the SSN does not match the provided name and date of birth in federal records, triggering immediate review to determine if data entry errors or identity fraud are present. Discrepancies require investigation before proceeding with hiring to avoid onboarding fraudulent identities. If findings may affect employment decisions, FCRA-compliant pre-adverse action procedures must be followed.
No, CBSV is a powerful identity data confirmation step but does not replace the full identity verification program that includes document review, database checks, and risk-based controls. CBSV strengthens confidence in the SSN data used throughout screening but should be layered with other verification methods. Your complete identity verification strategy should match the risk level of each role.
