Life School uses The Work Number from Equifax for all employment and salary verification requests.
What is the Work Number?
The Work Number allows a simple, secure, and private way to get verification of your employment and income information to Verifiers when needed, 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. This means transactions outside of normal business hours and/or weekends and holidays that require employment or salary verification can be done immediately.
What information should employees provide to the verifier?
Go to The Work Number and provide them with the employer code 11332487.
Who is considered a verifier?
Any lending institution, property manager, government agency or other organization with a permissible purpose to verify the employment or income of an employee.
What is the employer code?
This code identifies our organization with The Work Number. It can be searched by typing in our company name or you can use the employer code 11332487 to access The Work Number.
Can the employee pull their own verification?
No, the employee is not able to pull their verification because the verifier wants that information to come directly from the employer. While the employee is unable to generate their own verification, they can view their data on The Work Number via the Employment Data Report. Login to review employment information contributed to The Work Number.

Social Services Verification
Social Services Verifications are used in determining benefits eligibility for government-sponsored health and welfare programs such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), Medicaid, subsidized housing, etc.
As with commercial Verifiers (mortgage, pre-employment, financial services, etc.), social service agencies should be directed to The Work Number to fulfill their verification needs. The website will instruct them on how to register to use the service. Once they are credentialed, they can use the same automated process that commercial Verifiers use to perform instant verification of employment and income.
Public Service Loan Forgiveness and Teacher Loan Forgiveness Requests
- Employees can have these forms sent electronically to talent@lifeschools.net.
- Requests are typically returned within two business days.
