| When employees apply for
social service benefits, the caseworker
needs to verify employment and income as
part of the approval process. Typically,
the caseworker contacts the employer and
requests verification of the applicant's
working status and other detailed information
regarding income and benefits. As the employer,
that means you must complete a multi-page
form and return it to the agency. However,
if your records are part of The Work Number,
the caseworker can access employee information
via phone, Web, or fax. The Work Number
provides a benefit to everyone involved:
Employees…
…have increased confidentiality when
applying for benefits
…can be qualified faster
…don’t need to request information
from their employer
Employers…
…save time and money
…get less paper from state and federal
agencies
…get a more secure process of releasing
income information
Agencies…
…save time and money
…get quick and easy access to accurate
information
…reduce fraud and error rates
The Work Number is available to all these
government programs:
- TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy
Families)
- Food Stamps
- Social Security, including supplemental
income and disability
- Medicaid
- Child Support
