EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION 

Employment Verification is the process by which employers are required to provide wage and insurance verification information about specified employees. California law mandates that employers provide relevant employment, insurance, and income information about their employees and independent contractors to the child support agency for the purposes of establishing, modifying, or enforcing support obligations within 30 calendar days of receiving a Wage and Insurance Verification form. Completing and submitting the Wage and Insurance Verification form will ensure you remain compliant with California Family Code Section 17512.

Note: Some employers have been utilizing third-party providers to respond to requests for verification of employment, wage, and insurance. Due to recent changes, California child support agencies will no longer pay for fee-based third-party providers. Employers have the following options:

Option 1

  • Complete the Wage and Insurance Verification form and sign the certification. Return the completed form the requesting child support agency.

Option 2

  • Provide a printout or other attachment(s), containing all the information requested on the form and sign the certification.
    • This information may include: Printouts or attachments from a third-party provider submitted by the employer, pay stubs, 1099’s, and any other proof of wage and insurance

All information must be included with a signed certification for submissions to be considered compliant.
