Is using a social security number legal?
Some people do not want to provide their social security number or date of birth to do a criminal background check. Do I have the right to require this? Isn’t it not possible to do this police check without this information? How could you positively identify that person without this information. According to www.ask.com it is legal for this purpose only. It is not to be used to discriminate against the person as in age discrimination. Which I would not do anyway. Just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with this.
