General.
Yes. The system comes with easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet and CSV file interfaces for customers who want to run a large number of drivers’ licenses. Your customer service staff can upload the spreadsheet for them, or they can upload it themselves. Some of your larger customers will want to write an automated data exporter that loads directly into your system, which is where you can offer them our CSV interface.
Yes. Your clients can fax in orders for background checks, which your order entry staff will enter using the same easy data entry technology your clients use. Data entry is so fast that you can easily transcribe orders over the phone for your clients if you like. Once the order has been filled, it can be electronically delivered to your client or your customer service staff can mail or fax it to them.
Our customers are very protective of their data and software sources. If you’d like references, call us so we can arrange reference calls.
Reports are stored for the life of the account. If for some reason you close your account (for example, if your CRA is acquired), Accio makes it easy to download the reports.
Yes. The applicant portal functionality provides a way to directly engage the applicant in the process of placing a background check order. The portal ensures the applicant has signed a consent/release form before the order is processed. If you do not utilize the applicant portal for at least this one function (obtaining the applicant’s signed release form), there is no automatic way to place the order on hold until the release form has been signed. Once the applicant has signed the release online, you have the option of either sending the order to production or saving it as a draft for further review before activation.
The portal also reduces errors by eliminating double entry of subject information. In addition to the online signature function, you can have the applicant enter subject-specific data into the order form directly through the portal. This is especially helpful when gathering employment and/or education history.
The applicant portal greatly reduces the workload for your client when initiating the order process. The most your client may need to do is enter the subject’s first and last name, select a package, enter the subject’s email address, and click “Send to Applicant.”
The portal provides a way to gauge the applicant’s seriousness early in the process. When using any of the solicited portal options, your clients can see how their applicants respond to their request for information. You can also configure the system to remind the applicant multiple times to respond to the request.
If the document is rejected, it is returned with a status of “Complete – See Comments,” and the reason for the rejection is specified in the text details of the report. It will go into a review queue so the employer or applicant can make the necessary corrections and resubmit the form. A resubmission fee will apply.
CBSV FAQ.

- If you don’t process CBSV requests today, you can increase your revenues by adding depth to your product offerings
- You won’t have to spend time logging into a separate system to place orders, retrieve results, and copy data back into reports
- You can automatically e-mail and invite applicants to fill/submit the form
- The Accio process only allows “wet” signatures, reducing rejections and saving time

- It costs you nothing to add the ability to offer CBSV as an a la carte or package option and you’ll never pay for it unless you use it
CBSV verifies through the SSA that you’re starting your background check with a name, date of birth, and SSN that all match each other. SSN traces provide a list of previous addresses and a list of names publicly associated with the SSN – but doesn’t tell you which name is correct.
CBSV is used for pre-employment background screening (before a job offer is made and/or accepted). It can be included as part of a standard background check package or offered as an additional process after initial results return issues with the provided SSN.
The signed and completed Form SSA-89 unaltered in any way, including the Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act page. Note: The second page does not need to be initialed or dated by the applicant but it needs to be included with the first page.
The Social Security Administration is very stringent when it comes to requirements for submitting CBSV. The form must be completely and correctly filled. The reason for verification must be clearly marked and the applicant’s signature must be a “wet” signature. (no e-signature). That’s why we inspect each document and either approve or reject it before submission to SSA.
If the document is rejected, it is returned with a status of “Complete – See Comments” and the reason for the rejection is specified in the text details of the report. It will go into a review queue so that the applicant (or employer) can make the necessary corrections and re-submit the form. A re-submission fee will apply.
If the SSA finds that the name and SSN are not a direct match with the SSA records or if the SSN is registered to a deceased person, we will return a result with “Complete-Hits” and the record will go into a review queue so that the employer and applicant can correct any erroneous information.
Note: employment decisions should not be made solely on the return of a “no” or “deceased” record result. Any re-submission due to a SSA rejection will be treated as a new submission.
CBSV does not verify identity, citizenship, employment eligibility, nor does it interface with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) verification system. CBSV verifications do not satisfy DHS’s I-9 requirements.
Not at all. Non-Accio customers can be set up with stand-alone accounts for submitting forms and receiving results.
If you are an Accio Data customer, you also get these benefits:
- You won’t have to spend time logging into a separate system to place orders, retrieve results, and copy data back into reports
- You can automatically e-mail and invite applicants to fill/submit the form
- Accio’s CBSV is designed into your workflow process so data entry and turnaround times will be much faster

Integrations.
