Seriously, DO NOT put your SSN into the volunteer website till FIRST discloses publicly: how they use your credit report, how they safe gaurd it and the process is described correctly.

FIRST provided written guidance that is explicit that the SSN is optional.

See the U.S. Screening Process Step By Step on this page, page 4 of the linked pdf.
