Social Service agencies face the constant challenge of providing benefits and correct payments quickly in order to meet program standards and beneficiaries’ expectations. To do so, they must verify identities using public sector data sources. But manual verification processes are tedious, and public sector data sources often have outdated information, which can lead to delayed assistance and overpayment.

Empower your agency with a digital verification solution backed by The Work Number®

Streamline efficiencies in your public assistance programs — and help prevent, reduce, and minimize incorrect payments with the Social Services Verification (SSV) solution from Equifax Workforce Solutions.
