3.3.4 Review And Update Employee Data

If SSA finds a discrepancy in the information it received in the E-Verify referral, E-Verify will issue a prompt for the employer to review and update the employee’s information.

A Review and Update Employee Data case result occurs for reasons including typographical errors and/or incorrect information provided on Form I-9. This requires the employer to review Form I-9 with the employee make any necessary corrections on Form I-9, and update the information in the E-Verify case.

Alert Type info

A case that is resubmitted to SSA will have one of the following case results:

  • Employment Authorized, Section 3.1
  • E-Verify Needs More Time, Section 3.2
