USCIS E-Verify

E-Verify is a government-authorized, web-based system established under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) that allows employers to electronically confirm the employment eligibility of their employees. By utilizing information from an employee’s Form I-9, employers create cases that E-Verify compares against records from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). This efficient process typically provides employers with a response within seconds, confirming eligibility or indicating the need for further action.

Administered by SSA and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), E-Verify also offers robust program support, user assistance, and training to enhance compliance with U.S. immigration laws. Additional resources include webinars, detailed performance data, and a participating employer search tool. With a commitment to innovative technological solutions in employment verification, E-Verify stands as a vital tool for employers striving to ensure a transparent and compliant hiring process.
