Social Services FAQs

A large and diverse range of social service agencies routinely need to verify employment and salary history for purposes such as determining eligibility for food stamps, Medicaid, welfare-to-work programs. This can involve multiple phone calls to employers to gather the needed information-unless the employer is a member of EmployCheck.

EmployCheck provides rapid and secure employment verification and salary history either by fax or mail. Either way, confidentiality is very carefully protected, and you quickly receive reliable information that you need.
