THE WORK NUMBER EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME VERIFICATION PROGRAM
CAL FIRE participates as a member of the State of California Work Number employment and income verification program. The Work Number provides non-confidential employment and income information to verifiers (e.g., banks, lenders, rental companies, etc.).
Through the Work Number program an employee can provide a verifier with employment verification or employment/income verification. The employee must provide the verifier with specific information for them to obtain the verification. The Work Number program assures that only approved verifiers can utilize the program.
For information on how to utilize the Work Number program, please click on the links below and read the information carefully.
The brochure and the work sheet are very helpful and will give you critical information for logging in.
These are available on the State Controller’s website to help employees provide the necessary information to verifiers.
The employment and income information that is provided through the Work Number program is obtained from the SCO’s employment history database and updated biweekly. An employee may dispute data provided to a verifier through the Work Number program by contacting her/his personnel office in writing. Employees can request a free employment data report once a year. The employment data report is a copy of the information The Work Number provides to verifiers.
The employee can obtain a Work Number Employee Data Request Form and mail or fax the request to the mailing address or fax number on the form. The Work Number program will mail the employee a copy of her/his verification information within fifteen days of receipt. For additional questions regarding the Work Number program, please contact your personnel office.
