Employment & Income Verification

Employer Statements for Short-Term Disability or other Supplemental Insurance

The Cleveland Metropolitan School District does not sponsor any short-term disability products.  Employees may hold policies that require EMPLOYER STATEMENTS to be completed when the employee needs to use the policy.  AFLAC is a common example of a company that an employee may hold a policy with.

The Cleveland Metropolitan School District uses The Work Number® to provide automated employment and income verifications on our employees.

The Work Number is a fast and secure way to provide proof of your employment or income—a necessary step in many of today’s life events involving credit, financing, or securing of benefits or services. The Work Number simplifies the verification process and accelerates credit decisions through an online system available to verifiers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More than 200,000 credentialed verifiers rely on The Work Number for rapid access to information critical to their decision process, and over 2,900 employers nationwide have entrusted The Work Number to provide this important service on behalf of their employees.

Here’s How it Works:

1. CMSD’s HRIS department securely transmits employment and income data to The Work Number on a regular cycle, so the information remains current.  

2. When you apply for credit or other services where proof of employment or income is required, you provide consent to the credit grantor to verify that information when signing the application. 

3. The verifier—who has been carefully screened and credentialed before gaining access to the system—uses the CMSD employer code: 10298 and your Social Security Number to look up your record on The Work Number database. 

4. The verifier must provide a valid reason or permissible purpose for requesting the information, as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). 

5. With the above conditions met, the verifier can validate your employment or income in seconds, accelerating the decision process and helping you obtain the credit you deserve.
