COMMENTS
The selection criterion is that p-1 and p+1 are in the subsequence 4=2^2, 9=3^2, 12=2^2*3, 18=2*3^2, ... of nonsquarefree numbers (A013929) that actually display at least one square in their standard prime factorization.
So at least one of the e_i in p-1=product p_i^e_i, and at least one of the e_j in p+1=product p_j^e_j must equal 2. This is more stringent than being nonsquarefree, and the sequence becomes a subsequence of A075432.

FORMULA
{p in A000040: p+1 in A038109 and p-1 in A038109}. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 08 2015
EXAMPLE
19 is in the sequence because 19 - 1 = 2*3^2 contains 3^2 and because 19 + 1 = 2^2*5 contains 2^2 in the factorization.
