Phrasal verb for 'to receive information'

Hi all

I am not sure what the correct phrase is but it goes something like this. It should mean to received information. Is this the correct phrase? 'to get word'?

I got word that you're applicaiton has been denied.

Thank you

Yes, "to get word" has that meaning. It usually means you received the information informally or unofficially. You made a couple of typos: I got word that your application has been denied.
