If a background check showed a criminal case that I had expunged over a year ago, what do I do?

The employer is now asking for a disclosure. Should I say the case was dismissed, expunged or no comment? I did not list anything on my application so I am wondering what I should do?

Tell the truth. Explain what happened and when it happened and the result. Explain the record should be expunged.
