Why we ask about your income
To set you up with Cash Out Link, we need to understand where your income comes from.
This helps confirm your eligibility for Cash Out Link, determine how much you may be able to request, and schedule repayments when your income is deposited.
What income types can be used
Cash Out Link isn’t limited to traditional jobs. Depending on your situation, income can include:
- A paycheck from an employer
- Social Security benefits (SSA)
- Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits
You’ll just select or enter the source that best matches how you’re paid.
We only use this information to support your access to Cash Out Link and to help things run smoothly in the app.
How we verify your income
Depending on your income type, EarnIn may verify your income in a few different ways:
- GPS verification
If you receive income from an employer, we may use location signals (with your permission) to help confirm your work activity. - Work email verification
If applicable, you may be asked to verify your income using a work email address. - Other income verification
If your income comes from sources like Social Security (SSA) or Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, we’ll guide you through the right steps during setup.
You’ll only see verification options that apply to your income source.
