Employment Verification Service (TALX) - The use of this system is mandatory for all Navy civilian employees.

When you use it ...
Anytime you need to have your employment or salary verified, such as when you apply for an apartment lease, car loans, mortgage, and other major loans.

Who receives the information ...
Any organization (your bank, loan or credit institution, a background checking company, or even a prospective employer) that you authorize can obtain this information by calling the "The Work Number for Everyone" © or visiting http://www.theworknumber.com once you give them a salary key.

Dial 1-800-EMP-AUTH (1-800-367-2884) or go to http://www.theworknumber.com

You can obtain up to three salary keys. If unused, they will expire after six months.

When prompted enter: Department of Defense Code: 10365; Your Social Security Number and your 4-digit Pin: Month and Day of Birthday (MMDD) format, for example March 27 would be entered as "0327". Some employees may not be able to access The Work Number by entering the four-digit, numerical month/day (MMDD) of birth as the default PIN.  You should still be able to access the system by entering the four-digit, numerical month/year (MMYY) of birth as your PIN. Then change your PIN to any 4-8 digit number. Receive your salary key ... If using the telephone, have a pen and paper handy so you can write down the salary key (a six-digit number that will be voiced to you.) If using the Internet, the salary key will be shown to you. Simply give this number to the organization requesting the employment or salary verification.
