 TITLE: Can Someone Find Out If You’re Unemployed From a Credit Report? CONTENT: Does Being on Unemployment Show Up on Your Credit Report?\n---------------------------------------------------------\nWhile your credit reports may list past and present employer information, they do not state whether or not you are currently employed. Employer names may be listed because lenders sometimes ask for your employment information on credit applications, and they report that information to the credit bureaus (along with other identifying information). The reported employers may then be listed as part of your personal identification information. But any record of you receiving unemployment benefits will never be found listed in a credit report.\nGenerally, credit reports contain information from financial institutions that show your past interactions with credit. This includes records of loans you've applied for, your payment history (including late or missed payments), your current debt balances and credit limits, as well as any public records related to your finances such as bankruptcies or foreclosures.
