How It Works
Applicants verify their identity via a secure link sent to their phone and email through login.gov. Once verified, WorkProof downloads the W2 transcript to the BCS portal instantly.
Unlike costly providers, WorkProof skips start dates, end dates, and roles but still provides great value.
Workflow
- Our system will email and text ( if phone number is provided) the subject with instructions to release consent via their digital wallet on the IRS website.
- First, a consumer will receive an email that looks similar to this:
Hello Jessica,

Thank you,
BCS Background Screening, LLC - Once clicking the link, the consumer will automatically be sent to sign-in page on ID.ME shown below
** If the IRS receives subject information that does not match the SSN, the IRS will deny the transcript request. A common reason for a submission to fail will be due to mismatching candidate information tied to that SSN. An example of this may be for a provided address that is not the address from which that SSN filed their most recent tax return from.
** It is important to note that to create an ID.ME account, the subject needs to submit front/back images of their ID + a selfie image. Between the identity validation and the IRS matching info to the SSN, ID.ME is able to provide a result to the W2 WHC SSN Validation Code.
