The Work Number for Everyone

Employment Verification for State of Missouri Employees

The Work Number

The Work Number for Everyone® (TALX) is the process that gives you and your verifier access to employment information 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The Work Number is a cost effective and environmentally smart way for State of Missouri employees to have their employment verified confidentially.

This service is used for reference checks, loan applications, apartment leases, and credit card applications--anything you need that requires proof of employment! (The Work Number is not being used to process Public Assistance applications.)
