## Description

The Work Number is an Equifax service that automates income and employment verification for businesses and government agencies. Its database brings together information supplied by employers and payroll providers, enabling credentialed verifiers to access employment and income records for approved purposes. The service supports lending, government benefit decisions, pre-hire checks, and other verification needs, with applications in mortgage, auto, consumer finance, and social services.

Organizations can access verification services through a web portal, REST API, or batch SFTP, and use the data to support faster, more informed decisions. Solutions include income and employment verification, education verification, identity matching through The Work Number ID, Social Security verification, IRS tax transcript fulfillment, and portfolio review. Employer and payroll partners can contribute data and automate verification workflows, while employees can view and manage their own information, including placing a freeze on their employment data report.

The Work Number emphasizes secure, FCRA-compliant data delivery and paperless processes that can integrate with lending and benefits platforms.
