(sorry, dumb question) How would you find out?

  You’d explicitly ask your HR department in writing, and get your Work Number report from Equifax (you can get it, right?) to make sure your employer isn’t mistakenly/maliciously sending data over despite claiming not to.

    Both of those are post-hire actions, and assume that you will get an accurate response from either party.

      Yeah I asked at my last place and they were basically like “too bad it’s not changing”

        If you are able to resign, it will make them reconsider this decision.
        • NegativeLatency 4y ago
          I did, for various reasons including that

      True, but presumably the next time you are interviewing for a job, you can ask during the interview process, and then terminate the process of they tell you they do it. Preferably after they've wasted a bunch of time and money on your interviews.
