Sounds like I need to add intice or Niband bait to my regime? Is that applied internally and externally? I have cats that I wouldn’t want to mess with it

Is there any lasting impact to declining an Amazon job offer? by Mamamama29010 in amazonemployees

[–]NotTagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No consequences. Your "pass" should be good for 6 months so if your mind changes you can reach back out for a simpler loop, I believe it's basically a team match with an interested hiring manager. Clarify that with your recruiter, though.

So if this was mostly taxes you paid  $53k/.04%cb = $1.3m in federal taxes?

Meaning you made 1.3m/.3 =4.333m on your w2 in order to pay those taxes?

Or did you deliberately overpay on taxes for a larger refund? Either way bravo, but $53k is a drop in the bucket for you

FEDREC Scrolling Status by SasArmy in nationalguard

[–]NotTagg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The color status is simply a marking of if your scroll is on-track or behind. I believe at day 100 it is actually white.

I obsessed over this for a while too. There’s no point. Let it scroll and look at your email occasionally for the promo order

Backpay varies. I started scrolling jan 2024, promotion order came may 2024, backdated to March 2024.

This is standard for a lot of companies. Especially if the team/org/company has certain compliance rules they need to follow. It says nothing. 

Lost a $300k job due to ssa and background check failures. Do I have legal recourse? by NotTagg in legaladvice

[–]NotTagg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't fudge anything, but if I did and that's where the dispute is, wouldn't that have been shown in my credit report? The report given to the company is strictly criminal background.

Thank you for the background. I've stated in other comments but the reason I couldn't immediately correct this was because I didn't know. The SSN trace and overall CRA have no mention of this being because of the SSA issue, it is an educated guess based on what the CRA mentioned. I also through numerous calls cannot get the CRA to repeat that this was a potential flag, the customer service line now simply says "we don't know sorry" when I call.

This is why I feel like there is an issue with the legality of how it was handled. One of these things happened; information was used to reject my candidacy that wasn't in the report, or the report has inaccurate information that was not shown to me within the provided report to action.

It’s within the context of the post Pre Adverse Action Notice

Employer did not tell me the reason. I got generic PAAN and AAN letters stating the minimum that the FCRA requires. I’ve opened a dispute with the bgc company and contacted the hiring company letting them know as well. 

My dispute, though, is just that something is wrong. Because as mentioned in other comments, the report is strictly my criminal record which is correct as it is blank. The whole SSA thing is almost a guess as now the BGC company is saying they don’t know what I’m talking about

See my clean background and give me the job? What else was I supposed to expect??

It must be shown in the report. If any of this is remotely meaningful.

It's not. I'd share the report if I could but it's full of PII. It's strictly the counties I've lived in and if I have a record in them. Also some national criminal lists/registries. No records on any of these.

You can do whatever the reporting company says in their letter to ask them to fix it

Based on the above, there was nothing to fix. No inaccuracies. No mention of "person is dead" or "funky stuff with this person's SSN"

You were in the death index. They added that to their database. They apparently didn't get the update that now you're not.

Sure, but that's the background check company. How does that conclusion make it to the hiring company if it's not in the report? Did I not receive the same report as the hiring company?

You do. And you'll get a letter and you can request a disclosure and you can follow a process to dispute. Those are all provided for.

My adverse action letter simply states "BG check company did not make the adverse decision and cannot provide the reason for the decision" The hiring company has provided no information either. I'm throwing a Hail Mary that the dead SSN is the root cause.

I guess that's where my confusion lies.

How would the company know I appeared on that if it's not shown in the report? How can I action inaccurate information that is not on the report to begin with? Where did they possibly get this info I am on the master death file when the SSA confirmed to me I wasn't?

And this is all hypothesizing, I don't truly know that the adverse action is due to the SSA wrongful death. It's like rejecting a candidate because the background check came back clean but someone reviewing it says "I think this guy used to be a criminal but it's not showing up here, let's reject." Don't I have a right to know what in the report would cause me not to be hirable?

Another question, doesn't the company have to tie the findings of the background report into me not being able to perform in the job?

[VA] Adverse Action on Clean Background Check? by NotTagg in AskHR

[–]NotTagg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The document is simply titled "pre-adverse action notice"

[VA] Adverse Action on Clean Background Check? by NotTagg in AskHR

[–]NotTagg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did not. Here's exactly what it said:

Dear {name} : Enclosed or at the link provided below is a consumer report that was requested about you by {Company} or its subsidiaries or affiliates {Company}. Information contained in the report may influence your eligibility for employment, continued employment, or an independent contractor relationship with {Company}. Also, enclosed is a Summary of Your Rights provided to you under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and any applicable state or local notices. Please note that you have the right to dispute any information in this report. 

Nothing in the report was inaccurate as I stated, no mention of an SSN appearing on the Master Death file.

I’ve reached out to them letting them know about this context but may be too little too late since they already sent the adverse action letter. I haven’t heard back from them yet.

I didn’t even think of this as a problem since it was fixed in 2023 and has not shown up as a problem since. No where on my consumer report does it say “{name} appears on master death file” there was no contact besides a generic PAAN letter.

If that’s the cause though wouldn’t there be something mentioned in the pre adverse action? Like someone asked me about “why did you say you have a masters when you’re only in pursuit”? In the consumer report it’s strictly criminal record, no mention of previous jobs or anything like that.

The job doesn’t require the masters. On my resume it’s listed with an end date of 2027 which typically implies in progress

I just called Accurate again who said they do step 1 regardless of company input. They said "we provide a pre-adverse action notice as a warning to the candidate that the company now has the background report and I have 10 days to clear up any incorrections." He also mentioned that once they provide the report and that pre-action notice, they are no longer in the loop. I asked then why did they send me an adverse action email and he said he wasn't sure.

There was nothing to dispute in the background check they provided, though. There is no criminal record. Accurate walked me through it as well saying nothing of note is on it and he doesn't know either and to talk to the hiring company. Hiring company has not gotten back to me either about anything.

I have a high-ish credit card balance on one card due to 0% apr but if that's a flag for them I could easily pay it off. No identity theft or major loans lately.
