Employment Verification Requests & PSLF Certification Forms

Last updated Tuesday, October 29, 2019

Employment Verification Requests

As of May 1, 2019, the University of Washington uses i2Verify to provide employment and income verifications. i2Verify is a leading provider of employment and income verifications, and their online portal is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

To request employment and/or income verification, contact i2Verify directly*:

i2Verify can provide an employee’s:

  • Current or most recent job title
  • Dates of employment
  • Base annual salary
  • Employment status (Active/Inactive, Full/Part-Time, Perm/Temp)

i2Verify cannot provide an employee’s:

  • Job information prior to June 15, 2013*
  • Job duties or reasons for separation
  • Personal data, such as address
  • Professional certifications
  • Work schedule, attendance or timesheet information
  • Amount of sick/vacation time off
  • Wage/loss insurance forms

If seeking performance or credentialing information for a Medical Centers employee, instead of contacting i2Verify, please contact the employee’s home department.

Former UW employees who terminated prior to June 30, 2013, as well as stipend recipients – instead of contacting i2Verify, please use this form to submit your Employment Verification request.

Using external vendors like i2Verify to provide employment and income verification is a common practice – especially for a large employer such as the University of Washington, which can receive up to 500 verification requests a week! i2Verify provides a secure verification process, complying with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Verifiers need to provide a permissible purpose1 as defined by FCRA for all employment verification requests. For income verification requests, verifiers must additionally certify to i2Verify that they have employee consent.2

1. “Permissible purpose” is an FCRA-compliant reason for requesting employment and/or income information. Common permissible purposes include: for the extension of credit, as part of an account review, for employment purposes, or when ordered by a court. A permissible purpose is required for each employment or income data request.

2. “Employee consent” is the employee’s authorization for access to their employment and/or income information. Employee consent can be in the form of an ink signature, an electronic signature or an i2Verify Permission Key. Verifiers must certify they have employee consent for each income verification request.
