The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position

Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?

They confirm certain basic information such as you were indeed employed by the company, employment dates, title. I don't believe they can ask much more beyond that. I.e. Can't ask about rating or salary.
Dates of employment and role, maybe salary but not sure, check with HR.
Some companies have a policy that they will only confirm employment dates. Still, you don't want to lie. If the background check uncovers discrepancies your offer can be rescinded or you could be fired.
Agree with the above
Agree with Jeffries 1. Can't ask for rating or feedback.
Most firms use the work number to provide verification, which is basically title, employment dates, and salary (if you have a salary key).
All of above is true.... but it's a small pond and MD's frequently phone each other and you maybe discussed
@Citi1, what do you mean by "key salary"?
