E‑Verify recently experienced a technical issue with Social Security Administration (SSA) mismatch (tentative nonconfirmation) cases that were referred between April 9 and May 5, 2025. This includes cases involving dual SSA and DHS mismatches if the employee attempted to resolve the case by visiting an SSA office but did not contact DHS.

Due to this system error, some of these cases may have incorrectly received a final nonconfirmation (FNC) even after the employee took steps to resolve the mismatch at an SSA office.

We are excited for Federal contractors with the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause to experience all the great benefits of the “plus”!

To strengthen account security, E‑Verify is implementing multifactor authentication (MFA) through Login.gov. MFA adds an extra layer of security to the login process by requiring users to provide more than just a password. For example, users may be asked to enter a code sent to their email or mobile device in addition to their password.

After reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has determined that conditions in Afghanistan no longer support its designation for Temporary Protected Status. Afghanistan’s TPS designation and related benefits terminate on July 14, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.

The designation of South Sudan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is set to expire on May 3, 2025. The Secretary of Homeland Security did not make a determination as to whether South Sudan continues to meet the conditions for designation for TPS by March 4, 2025, the statutory deadline. Accordingly, the TPS designation for South Sudan is automatically extended for 6 months, from May 4, 2025, through Nov.

We’re excited to share that we will be relaunching Customer Satisfaction Surveys this month. As part of our commitment to continuously improve our services, we invite you to provide feedback. If you created an E-Verify case or contacted us recently, we may be reaching out to you.
