What is E-Verify?
An Internet-based system that compares information entered by an employer from an employee’s Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to records available to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to confirm the employee’s employment eligibility.
How does it work?
E-Verify is a solution for employee verification. It integrates with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHA) E-Verify Program to help companies comply with United States law.
In 1996, Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), which required the Social Security Administration (SSA) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), to initiate an employment verification program. Under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), USCIS operates the E-Verify program. E-Verify implements the legal requirement in IIRIRA by allowing any U.S. employer to verify the employment eligibility of its newly hired employees.
E-Verify is a voluntary program for most employers, but mandatory for some, such as employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that contain the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) E-Verify clause and employers in certain states.
E-Verify is an Internet-based system operated by the U.S. Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA) that allows participating employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees and/or employee assigned to a federal contract. You can use this program for free from https://e-verify.uscis.gov/enroll/.
Through the integration via the Web Service you are able to access this program directly from your Workforce Management application.
E-Verify works by comparing the information entered on an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, with SSA and DHA records to verify employment eligibility.
At this time, an employer can verify the employment eligibility of only one person at a time with the E-Verify Program.
