About > Resources > Household Employment Background Checks Since 1989, Aunt Ann's Agency has implemented pre-employment background checks on all candidates hired by Aunt Ann's Agency clients. There is no additional fees charged to our clients for the Standard Background checks. The standard background check is executed when a job offer has been made and accepted by all parties involved. 
What is included in Aunt Ann's In House Staffing STANDARD pre-employment candidate background check?The elements included in our STANDARD background checks are Social Security Number verifications; 7 year state and/or county criminal checks conducted in all locations identified where the candidate has lived during the past 7 years; national criminal file checks, including sex offender data; and DMV records. What information do we learn by having these pre-employment background checks executed as a condition of employment? Social Security Number Verification The Social Security Number Verification is a key component in our background screening process. It helps us to verify the accuracy of the information provided on the application; it provides a means of identifying holes in an applicant's history; and it enables us to determine where criminal records checks should be conducted and what names need to be searched. The Social Security Number Verification includes information from credit bureaus and public records databases to determine what name or names, addresses, and phone numbers are associated with the usage of a particular Social Security number. In addition, the search validates whether the SSN was actually issued by the Social Security Administration, and when and where it was issued. All of this information is vital in the prevention of potential fraud. Criminal Records - County County court records are available at each of the 3,077 counties in the U.S. These checks usually involve physically dispatching a court records researcher to manually check the courthouse records. Normally, the results are available in two to three working days. Criminal Records - Statewide Statewide criminal records are derived from three sources: state criminal repositories maintained by state law enforcement agencies, statewide criminal court indexes available through the state administrative office of the courts, and via proprietary databases. The records are checked by name and date of birth. Statewide searches are available in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Usually the results are available within two or three days. Note: we sometimes conduct a statewide check in conjunction with a county check if relevant information isn't available from the state. National Criminal File This check provides information from multiple criminal record sources. The primary sources included are: multi-state sex and violent offender records; incarceration records, parole, and release records from prisons; some state and local county criminal records; Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN List) from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC); the FBI Terrorist List; and Federal/State/Local Wanted Fugitive Lists. While this check provides access to millions of criminal records, it is not a nationwide search and we do not use this search as a substitute for the checks that we have conducted at the state and county level. * Ongoing monthly National Criminal File updates to monitor for criminal activity are available upon request. DMV Records DMV reports can be obtained in every state, with the exception of Alaska, Georgia, and New Hampshire. Generally, violations remain on the DMV report for three years, although convictions for serious offenses are reported for 5 years or more, depending on the state. DMV reports are of critical importance, as they can point to substance abuse problems. DMV checks also provide us with another tool for verifying the candidate's identity via the name and date of birth listed on the driving record. The following OPTIONAL BACKGROUND CHECKS are available for an additional cost in addition to our standard background checks. Civil Court Records This type of background check provides information regarding civil litigation involving the applicant as a defendant or plaintiff in a lawsuit. Civil checks can identify litigation involving former employers and temporary restraining orders. National Wants and Warrants A nationwide search for any open, extraditable warrants pertaining to the subject. This search only provides information regarding felonies. Federal Court Criminal Records -- Nationwide US district court records are available online. Federal criminal records checks are available on a statewide or nationwide basis. Educational Verification Confirmation of dates of attendance and degree attainment. Professional License Verification This check includes verification of license status and any disciplinary actions on file. Bankruptcies, Tax Liens, and Judgments This check includes a statewide search of liens and judgments and a nationwide search for bankruptcies. Credit Reports A credit report for employment screening can provide important information regarding a candidate's debts and payment history. More Information...
