An agency that provides state or federal aid to qualified applicants, for example, Social Services, Human Services, Social Security Administration, Family Services, Housing Authorities, Work Programs and Medicaid.

Is my data secure? Who can access my data?
Yes. Your wage data can be accessed only by a person or organization with your full social security number, employee authorization for accessing income information, and has been credentialed and authenticated by Experian. Only a few government agencies may access your data without you granting permission.

What do I have to do?
Nothing. You only need to access the system if you want to. Otherwise, your data is protected by Experian and given only to authorized and credentialed verifiers.

Why would I want to access the system?
By setting up a user password you can access your verification report for free, see who has been verifying your data, and block all private access to your data. (Some government agencies may still be able to access it.)

What do I need to do to set up my own access?
The first time you log in you will be asked to register. You will enter a code provided by your employer and personal information (e.g., Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, email address), and asked to create a password. Some employers may elect to enable Single Sign On which will allow employees to login when accessing from their employer's intranet.

Are there costs associated with a verification?
Experian Verification Fulfillment provides verifiers the necessary employment and/or income information on your behalf. Experian Verification Fulfillment provides this service because verifiers want to get this information directly from the employer or our provider, Experian Verification Fulfillment. As a service provider of this information, a cost is associated with getting a secure verification. The Private Verifier incurs the cost of this secure employment verification as they request the verification. There is no cost for Government verifications associated with government assistance.

What if my landlord or lender refuses to pay?
If somebody refuses to pay, you can log into the system, generate your own verification, and provide it to whomever you want.

Will my verifier use the system?
Most employers use this, or a similar service and verifiers usually like it because it speeds up their process.

How current is the data?
The system is updated with employment information daily, and payroll information bi-weekly
