The automated service is easy to use and available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week both online and by phone.

Requests for verification of employment and income may arrive by several communications channels, including mail, fax, email, and phone. Regardless of how the request for verification is sent to UCI, the instructions for completing the verification are the same and listed below.
