Beginning April 27, 2023, The Work Number, a third-party employment verification vendor, will handle UC student employment verifications just as it handles employment verifications for all other UC employees. Previously, UCPath (or the location) verified employment and income upon request from student employees.
This change will allow verifiers like banks, leasing agents and employers to verify student employment information faster and easier through The Work Number using the UC Employer Code 15975. With the change, UCPath will share job and income information for student employees with The Work Number, along with the data for other UC employees. UCPath, UC Legal and The Work Number have worked together to ensure that shared student information meets UC policy, legal and regulatory standards, including FERPA provisions.
Note: Student employees may opt out via employee self-service beginning April 28, 2023 if they do not want their data shared with The Work Number. Employees who opt out must refer all verifiers to UCPath for manual employment and income verifications. This may take significantly longer than utilizing The Work Number.
