Not always. A key feature of NextGen is to allow employees to save their information in their myE-Verify account to be used for future employers. Once they receive their unique reference code from a new employer, the employee can simply update their information if necessary and complete the NextGen process with their new employer.

If the employee receives a mismatch result, the system will notify the employee of the result directly and provide detailed instructions on the next steps. Once the case result is final (employee’s Mismatch is resolved as Employment Authorized or as a Final Nonconfirmation), the system will notify both the employer and employee of the case result. This process may change as NextGen in further developed.

E-Verify NextGen is an internet-based service that integrates the Form I-9 and E-Verify employment eligibility verification process. In an effort to increase efficiency, a newly hired employee will be able to set up a secure electronic account and automatically send their information and documentation to their E-Verify participating employer.

No, E-Verify employers are allowed to decide which process they will utilize (the current E-Verify process or NextGen).

No, E-Verify NextGen will not replace E-Verify. Instead, NextGen will work together with E-Verify by delivering an integrated Form I-9 and E-Verify Process.

Employees and employers can both benefit from using NextGen.

Employee Benefits:

• More privacy and security by entering your own personal information.

• When you get a new job, it's simple to update and share your employment eligibility information and documents with your E-Verify participating employer.

• You will receive direct notification if you need to take further action to confirm your employment eligibility status.

Employer Benefits:

• Reduces data entry errors because your employees will enter their personal information directly.

• Cases are managed in one place as NextGen seamlessly integrates with E-Verify.

• Increased efficiency as NextGen delivers Further Action Notices directly to employees, so you won't need to, in most cases.

Employees will access NextGen by creating a secure electronic account in myE-Verify. 

Employers will have access to NextGen in their already established E-Verify account.

After the employer makes a job offer and the employee accepts that offer, the employer will initiate a NextGen case in E-Verify. This allows the employee to then share their personal information and documentation electronically with their employer using their secure myE-Verify account.  The employer will review the information provided, examine the employee’s Form I-9 documents, sign and retain the Form I-9. This process may change as NextGen is further developed.
