Why are Adverse Action Letters Important?

The FCRA wants to ensure everybody gets a full understanding of what and why an individual doesn’t qualify for something.  By providing an adverse action letter to an individual, you are showing them tangible evidence for your decision.

When denying an applicant for employment or a volunteer for a position or a tenant for housing, you are required to follow the adverse action process (which has various confusing steps). With Blueline’s platform, compliance is baked into every step of the process (platform access – record processing – data reporting – automated disclosures).

Blueline’s automated templates are EASY to use and totally FCRA COMPLIANT.  Spend your limited time onboarding your new employee/volunteer/tenant instead of babysitting the compliance process and regulatory risk.  Plus, Blueline has you covered on all other local, state, and federal guidelines, regulations, and best practices.

We wanted to remind you that beginning in January your background check applicants will start receiving 613 Letters.

The basic premise of this is that we will notify applicants when any matter of public record is found on a background check that may affect their hiring or promotion. This new practice will have little to no impact on you as an employer.

This is deemed a “best practice” policy that will help you as a client stay on the right side of any employee/applicant challenge or complaint as it pertains to background checks.

One adjustment that will need to be made with this new policy is making sure a space is added to ask for email addresses from all applicants/employees for background checks beginning on January 1st 2020. This will allow Blueline Services to manage the reporting and compliance aspect of the 613 Letter.

A new authorization form with an added email address field is available in our system under the HELP tab. You should be able to download the new form there.

If you have any questions regarding this letter, please feel free to reach out to our backgrounds team at backgrounds@blueline-services.com.

Thank you,

The Blueline Services Team
