DHS/ALL/PIA-096 Employment Verification and Unemployment Compensation (EV UC)

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) outsources administration of its Employment Verification (EV) and Unemployment Compensation (UC) business functions, currently Equifax Workforce Solutions (vendor), due to the Department's large number of current and former employees. With respect to Employment Verification, current and former DHS employees pursuing contracts and services with mortgage lenders, consumer finance companies, prospective employers, and other entities typically require verification of their current or past employment. Regarding Unemployment Compensation, recently separated DHS employees seeking unemployment compensation need the Department to work with the states and territories where they reside to ensure they receive any payments to which they are entitled. DHS is conducting this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) because the systems that support its Employment Verification and Unemployment Compensation functions collect, use, store, and transmit personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive personally identifiable information (SPII).
