Third-Party Payroll Verification Source Definition
Third-Party Payroll Verification Sources are companies that provide employment information verification. Third-Party Payroll Verification Sources can only be used as qualified earned income verification in the following situations:
●When the employer uses only the third-party payroll source as its legal agent to provide payroll services or respond to inquiries about employee records
●When the third-party payroll verification source has been approved by FAA
●To verify information already provided by a participant (in writing or verbally) when the information is
unclear(g) or
questionable(g)
Third-Party Payroll Verification Sources approved by FAA include any of the following:
●Equifax/EMVI (a.k.a. The Work Number)
Disclaimer: Information contained in The Work Number verifications section of this report is consumer report information obtained from The Work Number. It can be used for the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) permissible purpose for which this consumer report was obtained, and the user must adhere to FCRA requirements, including but not limited to the relevant requirements contained in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB’s) notice to users of consumer’s reports. This verification is system-generated and contains data that originate from the employer’s payroll system. If any information is missing, it is because the employer did not provide this information for inclusion in The Work Number verification. Information not provided by the employer is showing as “Data Not Provided.” Note, if this person left this employer and was rehired later, the “Total Time with Employer” amount will likely be understated and will only reflect the most recent consecutive months of services.
