What is a Proof of Income Letter?
o the letter can be used as proof of your:
o income when you apply for a loan or mortgage;
o income for assisted housing or other state or local benefits;
o current Medicare health insurance coverage;
o retirement status;
o disability; and/or
o age.
o The borrower can select the information they would like on it.
What You Should Know
