Where I come from you do that on a background check - you fail it.

Unfortunately that is worded poorly on the application, it does not mean that you do not have a SSN, it means that you are not willing to give your SSN.

We were told when the background checks for main and alternate contacts first started happening to let everyone know that they did not have to give their SSN, and that it would not change whether they passed the background check or not.

So I would say that they reason you got that notification was that you gave your SSN and by law in your state they have to give you that notice because you provided your SSN to them.

I'm pretty certain that information stays with Verified Volunteers and is not passed on to FIRST.

So to any other volunteers DO NOT give your SSN to VV, check the box "no SSN"!
