Income Verification Documents – What is Acceptable?
• For employees who report earned income from an employer, 4
weekly paystubs or 2 bi-weekly paystubs are acceptable.
Paystubs should be dated within the last 60 days and should
contain a full month’s worth of income. Tax returns for
individuals are not acceptable proof of income.
• If income varies or an individual receives commission income
this should be documented in a separate letter describing how
income fluctuates month to month. Please send the last 3
month’s worth of paystubs.
• For self-employed businesses, the most recent quarterly profit
and loss statement is an acceptable income verification
document. Please be sure the applicant’s name is on the
statement, not just the business name.
