How long do background checks for employment go back?
Depends on the state, but up to 10 years. It also depends on what they are looking for, again depending on the state. Some states have things like felonies, bad debt and bankruptcy fall off your background after as little as a few years.

Maya Angelou is quoted as saying, “when you know better, you do better,” and that’s the lesson here. Don’t be embarrassed as you’re moving forward.
God’s speed!
