Following as I’m in a similar situation….
Did you receive an email asking to provide confidential information and agreement to start the background checks? If not, I'd reach out. If the background checks are in progress, you could wait another 2 weeks before reaching out.
In this case I advise following up saying you are looking forward to the email to initiate the background checks. Most of the time that email should be triggered automatically as soon as you accept the offer through the portal. In some cases it's not due to technical glitches and it's best to inform the recruiter. Best wishes!
I'll say wait at least a couple of weeks; as you said, they could be running background checks, E-Verify, and MVRs. If the start date is a month away, they will take their time.
