If that can't be done, the income will be checked against employer records submitted to the credit agency Equifax. If there's still a discrepancy between those records and the income claimed, the applicant will have to furnish more documentation and an explanation.The final rule allows state exchanges to check a statistically valid sample of applicants, rather than every applicant, in a small subset -- cases in which an applicant claims income more than 10% below what IRS and Social Security records show, and where there's no Equifax data.
