Request of Information (RFI) – Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) – Credit History - DCSA, as required by the Federal Investigative Standards, is required to obtain credit history information on the subject of a background investigation for employment purposes. Credit History Reports should include Credit Data: Tradeline Information; Collection Information; Public Records relating to civil judgments, tax liens, bankruptcies; Subject Income; Consumer identification to include names, akas, current and prior addresses, and date of birth; Credit history identifying creditors, debt payment(s) performance, current and past due charge off, collection and collection factored accounts, balances and past due amounts, and status of accounts for the past 24 months; A listing of inquiries within the last 12 months; and overall score based on DCSA specifics
- “Even in a digital environment sometimes, data quality is not always there,” (USCIS Transformation Delivery Division Chief David Blair) Blair said. “Having data standards within components of DHS has significantly improved how we communicate with each other. Having a shared data standard and shared reference data, everyone has the same ports of entry and country of birth and citizenship and what a field office code is. When those become standardized and everyone is using the same reference data, you no longer need to have some kind of middleware or ESP or translation of five-digit codes into three-digit codes.”
