SSN & ID Consumer Questions

Both check the validity of your social security (SSN) number, which is scrubbed through the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File (SSA DMF), then screened through the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (OFAC-SDN). IDentity Validation traces your SSN use history returning any previous addresses, multiple identities, if any, and any additional SSN’s associated with your SSN.

Easy Verification pulls information through a secured portal to obtain SSN data and SSN reported deceased information from the SSA which is updated weekly, OFAC-SDN file is updated every 24 hours. Name and address information is obtained from multiple providers who update their records daily. Using multiple sources makes it possible to verify the validity of an address right down to the apartment or suite number. Sources include credit files, motor vehicle records, voter registration, marketing databases and more.

In a word - regulations. The financial community such as banks and lenders must comply with regulatory mandates including the USA Patriot Act and Red Flags Rule implemented as a protective measure preventing fraud, and prohibited transactions.

As part of its enforcement efforts, OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called Specially Designated Nationals (SDN). Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.
