E-Verify checks information entered against records available to DHS and SSA. Once a case is created, a result is displayed. The chart below provides an overview of the case results that E-Verify may return. This section provides additional information on each case result.
Case Results - Overview
| Employment Authorized | The employee’s information matched records available to DHS and/or SSA. |
|---|---|
| E-Verify Needs More Time | This case was referred to DHS for further verification. |
| Tentative Nonconfirmation (Mismatch) | Information did not match records available to DHS and/or SSA. Additional action is required. |
| Case in Continuance | The employee has contacted DHS or visited an SSA field office, but more time is needed to determine a final case result. |
| Close Case and Resubmit | DHS or SSA requires that you close the case and create a new case for this employee. This result may be issued when the employee’s U.S. passport, passport card, or driver’s license information is incorrect. |
| Final Nonconfirmation | E-Verify cannot confirm the employee’s employment eligibility after the employee has contacted DHS or visited SSA. |
