How do we handle these fine points of background checks?

Q: If we do a background check for potential new hires, we do notify them and get their acknowledgement through the company that orders the background reports, but do I also need to provide them with a copy of the Fair Credit Reporting Act if we do not perform a credit report check? Also, the background authorization form that the employee signs includes the Social Security number of the applicant; is it OK to include as attachment with my employment application? – Kim, North Dakota
