TALX (The Employment Verification System at HRSA)

How it Works

This automated service provides quick and easy access to employment information. No more need for faxing, mailing, or phone-calling that slows down the closing of loans or other employee business that requires a verification of employment. Now, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, employers can pick up the phone or log onto the web to verify this employment and salary information.

Employees can use TALX The Work Number® in three easy steps:

Authorize the verification by completing the verifier’s (lender’s, bank, etc.) authorization form.
Provide the verifier with:
- TALX The Work Number® access options - http://www.theworknumber.com/ or 1-800-367-5690
- HHS Employer Code: 14775
- Salary Key (if needed)
Sit back and relax!
