E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows an employer, using information reported on an employee’s Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to determine the eligibility of that employee to work in the United States. For most employers, the use of E-Verify is voluntary and limited to determining the employment eligibility of new hires only. There is no charge to employers to use E-Verify. The E-Verify system is operated by the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with the Social Security Administration.
More than 196,000 employers are enrolled in the program, with over 8.7 million queries run through the system in fiscal year 2009. There have been over 7.6 million queries run through the system in fiscal year 2010 (as of April 10, 2010).
E-Verify is mandatory for some employers, such as those employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that contain the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) E-Verify clause and employers in certain states.
The system can be a little cumbersome when you register and take the training course, but after that it is simple and quick to use. Protect your company from hiring undocumented workers at no additional charge.
