Verification of Employment (VOE) is a process used to review and verify employment history. This information is often used by banks, mortgage lenders, and government agencies. The SSC offers VOE services for past and present employees, including those from the Ann Arbor, Flint, and Dearborn campuses, the health system, retirees, and temporary employees.
The SSC utilizes a third party verification service, Vault Verify, for many employment verification requests. Vault Verify is a secure, automated employment and income verification service. They help ensure quick and easy confirmation of employment and income history are fulfilled through their secure, online service.

U-M Service as a Credit to Retire from the State of Michigan (or another state)
If you used to work at the University of Michigan and now work for the state of Michigan, you can receive credit for the time you worked at U-M for your eligibility to retire from the state. However, service with the State of Michigan does not count as service to retire from U-M.
If you work for a state other than Michigan, check with your current employer to determine if they will allow you to receive credit to retire based on your time worked at the University and what information they require to confirm employment.
Requests regarding the use of U-M Service as credit to retire from the State of Michigan (or another state) are processed by the Payroll Office. Click here for instructions on how to submit your request.
