Like my only job was a couple of years ago and only for a few weeks.
I honestly cannot remember the month it was. I know the year and employer (place I worked) but all I can remember is it was somewhere in between July-October.

I am not even sure where my W-2 form is at and even if I kind of knew, my mom would never be able to find it and send it to me.

Is there any way to find out this kind of information when you lost your W-2 and can't remember when you worked? I just don't want to give them false information from guessing or give them a reason to delay the application when running their background checks.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How did you get paid? If you got paid by check or direct deposit, or got paid in cash and had a habit of depositing your pay as soon as you received it, you may be able to get your bank or credit union to retrieve copies of old statements for you. One credit union I'm a member of charges $5 per statement copy, so you're looking at $20 if you need all four months.

I don't think your W-2 would even say what months you worked; it just reports earnings for the whole tax year.

I was given a debit card by that specific company that they gave you a direct deposit into. However, I do not have that card with me.

Would I just call the actual store I worked for or like the big company?

Like I worked for a store called Fashion Bug but Fashion Bug is owned by a bigger corporation called Charm Shoppes Inc.

So which one of those should I call and would they even remember me?

Just call the store and ask the manager, explain it, if you then need to call the parent company, they would tell you I would have thought.
