This report verifies an individual’s social security number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA), including the state in which it was issued and the date range. It provides an address history that can serve as a roadmap in tracing a person’s past. It also identifies aliases, additional names and address history associated with the SSN by searching credit files, national databases, real property records, and voter registrations. This report verifies if a death benefit has been paid on the SSN.

CBSV is a service provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that can be used during the pre-employment screening process to verify an applicant’s name, Social Security Number (SSN), date of birth, gender, and death indicator if available.
