The applicant will receive a secure invitation for income verification via email, text message, QR Code, or physical document.
Income Passport verifies the applicant’s income sources — financial institutions, digital wallets, gig platforms, employers, and payroll providers.
Our consent-based income verification tool easily guides applicants to report their income earned across various sources and enter their expenses.
Income Passport aggregates income and expense data into an easy-to-read report. The applicant reviews, approves, and submits the information.
“Income Passport uses sophisticated technology to streamline the income verification process both for applicants and for agencies.”
– Melissa Wolf, Deputy Director, Missouri Family Support Division

“This is a win-win for the state and for workers. I know for sure that the national and state job market will continue to change in the future. Equipped with solutions like the Income Passport, state can stay ahead of worker’s needs and better manage government resources, both in times of growth and in times of crisis.”

"This is about harnessing the potential of technology to expand economic opportunity for a segment of the population that is exploding but often struggles to access credit. It reflects the fact that the way financial institutions verify income history is out of step with the way that a growing number of
Americans work and earn."

President of Telhio Credit Union
“Claimants that would normally wait weeks or months, are getting paid in days or even hours… Steady’s Income Verification is a great gatekeeper and great validator. Steady allows rapid decisioning for people who deserve it, and they are a deterrent to fraud. The old way was a sieve for fraud.”
Richard Pierce
Louisiana Workforce Commission, State Level Employee
“The best way to build tools that support workers is to include those workers in the development process. By listening to the insights, perspectives, and recommendations of workers, Steady has created a tool that will help millions of people take control of their own data and access critical benefits to support themselves and their families.”
Angela Vogel
Union Leader, Philadelphia’s Drivers Union
“The past year has revealed the profound misalignment between the realities of the labor market, and outdated infrastructure that the government uses to verify benefits eligibility. By putting data in the hands of workers, we can modernize the process to boost payment accuracy and better serve a growing and critical segment of the economy.”
