Background check reports and public records on property taxes / benefits question

[Thomas Hurt]

1. depends on what kind of background check...

IIRC there are just a basic check where they check the FBI database for convictions

Then there is the full blown federal gov't security clearance checks.

Those are everything, interviews of family, friends, former employers for like the last ten years or something, health records, criminal background check, credit check. Anything to make sure you are stable and not easily compromised.

My neighbor back in the day was having his clearance refreshed and a federal marshall showed up and asked me about his behavior as a neighbor. Any parties and the like.
