Employment Verification Request Form

Hi 2023 CMs! As you are apartment/house hunting, if you need verification of your employment, please fill out the Employment Verification Request Form to request a letter of employment verification. Although TFA is NOT your employer, because of the timeline of finding an apartment/home and hiring at schools, we are able to provide you with a corps verification letter that states that you are expected to be employed along with your expected starting salary. Please note, it can take up to 5 business days to process this request. If you need your letter more urgently, please reach out to your OC or Crystal.
