Your main profile page will have four options to help guide you with using the service:
1. I want to provide someone proof of my employment only
2. I want to provide proof of employment AND income
3. I want to get my Employment Data Report
4. I want to use other account features
Note: To provide proof of employment, you do not need to log into the system with your personal
User ID and PIN as all other options require, see the Employment Verification section of this guide
for more information. All four options are available if you choose to access the system with your
User ID and PIN.
EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION
Provide your lender with the Employer Code for DHS (11363) and your Social Security Number.
The lender will access www.theworknumber.com to request verification of employment.
EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME VERIFICATION
Provide your lender with the Employer Code for DHS (11363), your Social Security Number, and
the Salary Key. The lender will access www.theworknumber.com to request verification of
employment and income.
ESTABLISH SALARY KEY
You will need to establish a one-time use Salary Key to provide to the lender; each lender is required
to have a unique Salary Key to request income verification.
Select the Salary Key tab on the top of the Home page and the New Salary Key button. This will
create the unique Salary Key and provide you with options to e-mail or print the instructions. You
can e-mail the instructions (includes your name, DHS Employer Code, and one-time Salary Key;
you will need to provide your Social Security Number) directly to the lender.
