Are you applying for credit, leasing or renting, financing a purchase, applying for government services, or in need of an employment verification? If yes, we’ve made it a lot easier and faster for you to get proof of income or employment when you need it.

We have partnered with The Work Number® database, which is a simple, quick and private way to get your employment and income information to companies as needed. It is available 24/7 so that you can get the decisions you need any time. 

When asked for proof of employment or income, simply provide the following information:

• Website: www.theworknumber.com
• Phone: (800) 367-5690, M-F 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (ET)
• Email: member@equifax.com

The Work Number provides:

SECURITY
The Work Number database uses stringent security standards to help protect your personal information. There are also controls in place by law (the Fair Credit Reporting Act) to help protect your privacy. With your consent, your personal data can be retrieved only by credentialed verifiers.

BETTER SERVICE
The Work Number is available to those needing your information 24 hours a day. No waiting for your lender or landlord to exchange paperwork with your employer to close the deal.

CONSENT
You authorize credentialed verifiers to retrieve your income information by signing a borrower’s authorization form and application for a benefit (such as a loan or social service request), or by creating a salary key (a one-time access code).

ACCURACY
The Work Number ensures all your information is correct. The Employment Data Report (EDR) is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), so you can view your personal information and who used it.

The Employer Code is 21627 for faculty, staff, and OPS employees, and 21642 for students (i.e., Federal Work Study, Graduate Assistants).
