SSN Trace... Show it or Hide it?

On this episode Tim Santoni discusses the history of the SSN Trace. What it's good for. What it's not good for.

The legal/compliance arguments for including the SSN trace in the report and why it might be better to run it and hide it from the report.

A few options to consider.

OPTION 1 -Run the SSN Trace and include all of the results in the report with no review.

OPTION 2 - Run the SSN Trace and remove misspelled names, obvious errors and addresses that do not belong to the applicant.

OPTION 3 - Run the SSN trace BUT do NOT provide the data on the final report.

OPTION 4 - Don’t run the SSN Trace at all.
