Some cars assembled in the U.S. from largely American-made parts don't sell well, meaning fewer Americans are employed to build them. Cars.com's American-Made Index recognizes cars that are built here, have a high amount of domestic parts and are bought in large numbers by American consumers.
Most mortgages are preceded by both written and verbal VOEs. Once a lender receives the initial loan application, a Written Verification of Employment (Form 1005) is sent to all current and previous employers within the last two years listed on the application.
The lender wants to verify the documents provided by the borrower regarding his income details. This is why he sends a request form to the borrower's employer and this form is the Verification of Employment. The lender's primary intention is to check the financial status of the borrower prior to approving the loan.
