Income and Employment Verifications for Social Services

Put Your Benefit Eligibility Processes on the Fast Track

In order to assess benefit applications and renewals, social services agencies face the task of making sure all eligibility requirements are met. Verifying information such as income and employment – often from a wide variety of sources – is an essential step in this process.

By fulfilling social service verifications on behalf of employers, Equifax helps government agencies quickly harness the power of this information and automate the eligibility verification process.
