Provide SSN, or not. Issues? Thoughts?

Thanks. FlyS

The first time you will be "required" to submit your SSN is when you enter Phase II and you register with GIS, the background check company. At the face-to-face interview, I believe I had to type it into their program along with my permanent address and DOB for my fingerprinting/DHS application. I think that's separate from your actual background check, not 100% sure on that one...

To answer your question- provide it, don't provide it. Don't think it matters on your app as far as selection goes... but you will have to provide it at some point in the process.
