    Default Got Hired Months Ago but Now They Want a Background Check

    My question involves a background check in the State of: New York

    A week prior to my official start date, my employer initiated a background check on me. I had thought they would have done that before officially sending me the acceptance letter, but I guess not.

    Anyway, I was issued an ACD in November last year( about 9 months ago) for my first and only criminal offense. I took the required class and was told to wait 6 months for the ACD process. However, I never heard back from them and never got an official paper/document about the final outcome.

    Is there anything I should do at this point?

    I was told I should not worry about the ACD affecting my employment eligibility in the background check, but I want to make sure.

    My concerns are:
    1. Is there anything I should do at this point to follow up on the case?
    2. How can I get the official letter saying that my case has been resolved and closed?

    Thank you very much. I am glad I found this place to discuss my concerns

    Did you at any time lie about your record?

    You were told not to worry about the ACD by whom? Your employer?

    You should be able to get a disposition sheet from the court where your case was heard.
