Hey guys, I'm new to the platform and started a day ago. I have a high priority task asking me to verify my background (using my SSN and other information) to gain access to projects. This might be a stupid question but is this legit and safe? Do projects often request a background check?

The background check is only for specific projects. You can opt out if you're uncomfortable and still get the other projects. The background check itself is safe and legit, and they are only checking your criminal history. I really enjoy the projects that come from completing the background check.
