Correct Answer
A. True

A Federal Criminal Search should always be ordered because it provides a comprehensive background check on an individual's criminal history at the federal level.

12.
Civil Records should be reported (CHOOSE ONE):
Correct Answer
D. Regardless of age except for child support or divorce settlements
Explanation
Civil Records should be reported regardless of age except for child support or divorce settlements.

21.
In order to satisfactorily verify provided employment from 2005 to 2008, the applicant must (CHOOSE ONE):
Correct Answer
A. Provide W-2 forms to cover 2007 and 2008
Explanation
The correct answer is to provide W-2 forms to cover 2007 and 2008. This is because the question asks for verification of employment from 2005 to 2008, and providing W-2 forms for 2007 and 2008 would cover the entire requested period.

Explanation
The statement is false because if education has been provided to resolve a gap in employment, it does not necessarily need to be verified, especially if it is not the highest level completed. Verification of education is typically done to ensure the accuracy and validity of the information provided, but in this case, since the education is not the highest level completed, it may not be necessary to verify it.
24.
TRUE OR FALSE: If current employment can be verified through a fee based system, it is not necessary to wait until Day 4 to verify the employment.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
If current employment can be verified through a fee-based system, it means that there is a reliable and efficient process in place to confirm the employment status of an individual. Therefore, there is no need to wait until Day 4 to verify the employment as it can be done earlier through the fee-based system.

The applicant provided on the application that he graduated on 12/2013, but GIS verified that they are currently enrolled with an expected graduation date of 09/14. This case would need to be rejected.
