Unable to verify password using password_verify - php

Question

WHen user clicks submit button, ajax will pass data to a php scripts to check if login valid or invalid.
Below, password is not verified. The data passed(email,password) to the checkLogin class are correct, because other data can be retreived using the email address.It's only when it comes to
$flag=false;
if (password_verify($this->password, $hashAndSalt)) {
$flag=true;
}
its returning false. I couldn't spot the mistake.Can anyone see what is wrong in my script?
js
/*login user*/
$("document").ready(function(){
$("#login-user").submit(function(){
alert("submited");
var data = {
"action": "test"
};
data = $(this).serialize() + "&" + $.param(data);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "text",
url: "login-this-user.php", //Relative or absolute path to response.php file
data: data,
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
alert(data);
}
});//end success
return false;
});//end form
});
PHP
<?php
session_start();
include('config.php');
include('class.login.php');
//$return = $_POST;
$return ='{"email":"jane#ymail.com","pass":"jane","action":"test"}';
//$return['json']= json_encode($return);
//
//below code to store in database
$data = json_decode($return, true);
$login = new checkLogin();
$return_value = $login->checkLogin($data["email"],$data["pass"]);
echo $return_value;
?>
class to check login
<?php
class checkLogin
{
public $email;
public $password;
public $userId;
public $salt;
public $hpass;
public function __construct()
{
}
public function checkLogin($param1, $param2)
{
$this->email=$param1;
$this->password=$param2;
$sql = "SELECT *FROM agency WHERE agency_email='{$this->email}'";
$statement = connection::$pdo->prepare($sql);
$statement->execute();
while( $row = $statement->fetch()) {
echo "salt ".$salt=$row['agency_salt'];
echo "hash ".$hashAndSalt=$row['agency_pass'];
$user_id=$row['agency_id'];
}
$flag=false;
if (password_verify($this->password, $hashAndSalt)) {
$flag=true;
}
return $flag;
}
}
?>
Table structure
Hashing when signing up user and storing password:
/*....salting starts........*/
$cost = 10;
$salt = strtr(base64_encode(mcrypt_create_iv(16, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM)), '+', '.');
//$salt = sprintf("$2a$%02d$", $cost) . $salt;
$options = array('cost' => $cost,'salt' => $salt);
//$password = crypt($data['password'], $salt);
$hash = password_hash($data['passsword'], PASSWORD_DEFAULT,$options);
/*..........salting ends..............*/
