As in you had to interact directly with work number for that? Or do you mean that lender “magically” knew and pre-populated your salary info during application process?

Not the parent, but my lender magically knew with just my name, position, company, and SSN. FWIW

No, I contacted my work to get my ‘work number’, and then gave that to my mortgage lender.
