The Work Number for Everyone

“The Work Number for Everyone” is a service that will allow you to provide almost instant verification for  employment to secure a loan, rent, an apartment, or anything else where employment verification is required.  This automated, paperless service is available 17 hours a day, 7 days a week and provides employment and salary verification through a touch-tone phone to credit and reference verifiers upon request.

Each employee is responsible for authorizing the release of their employment and salary information. The credit and reference verifiers must receive an authorization code from you to access your information. 

To obtain an authorization code, with a touch-tone telephone, you can call 1 (800) 367-2884. You will need the following information: 

• USDA's company code 10284
• Your social security number 
• Your individual PIN number - Month and day of your birthday – 00/00

Once you've given the Reference Card to the verifier, it's their job to call 1-800-367-2884 to access your employment information.
