Accelerate the criminal background screening function for housing assistance programs

Smart Screen™ CourtCheck for Affordable Housing reduces steps and delivers quality results as part of a criminal background check process. Smart Screen™ CourtCheck instantaneously delivers a “No Records Found” result for individuals who have no associated records within a proprietary incarceration data network in the most recent seven (7) years and a sex offender registry data network. If Smart Screen™ CourtCheck is unable to deliver a “No Records Found” result after checking these data networks, Smart Screen™ CourtCheck performs court research - where coverage exists, at the jurisdiction level.* All outputs across available jurisdictions will be delivered within 24 hours, helping accelerate delivery of the necessary information used during a background screening process. <p><p> In circumstances where Smart Screen CourtCheck provides court records, it includes a filter that limits surfaced information to conviction records from the most recent seven (7) years. <p> *Court research is performed when an adequately identified individual can be confidently checked in a covered jurisdiction. A “More Research is Needed” output is delivered in a variety of circumstances when a consumer report response cannot be provided.
