E-Verify Evaluations
The E-Verify program is a powerful, efficient, and accurate tool for employers to confirm that their employees are work-authorized. USCIS is constantly improving E-Verify to ensure that employers using it receive excellent customer-focused service and the most accurate information.
The results from each of the studies show that the E-Verify users have confidence in the system, find it straightforward to use and appreciate the amount of customer service they receive when using E-Verify.

The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) benchmarks citizen satisfaction across the federal government including E-Verify. Per the ASCI data illustrated in the chart below, E-Verify has consistently exceeded both the National Average and Federal Gov Average citizen satisfaction year over year since at least 2011.
