They can terminate your employment, but may be guilty of violating the federal law protecting employees from illegal discrimination, including background checks, and in your case probably an age discrimination claim. You need to seek the advice of a competent employment attorney as you only have 120 days from the date of termination to file an EEOC claim.

Yes, completely legal to discharge you for not being truthful, no matter how old it is. For more info, Google this: Georgia, employment at will.

Probably not. Contact an attorney and/or the Wisconsin Equal Rights Division.
