E
E-Verify is an Internet-based program in which the employment eligibility of newly hired employees and existing employees assigned to a covered federal contract will be verified after Form I-9 has been completed. This involves separate verification checks (if necessary) of records maintained by the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
A unique number assigned to each E-Verify case that is created when an employer submits an initial verification. Employers participating in E-Verify are required to record the E-Verify case number on the employee’s Form I-9 or to print the screen containing the E-Verify case number and attach it to the employee’s Form I-9.
An individual or company that performs E-Verify cases on behalf of employers, formerly referred to as a designated agent.
The E-Verify Participation Notice informs current and prospective employees that a company is participating in the E-Verify Program. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) requires participating employers to display both the English and Spanish versions of the notice in a prominent place that is clearly visible to current and prospective employees.
An individual with a corporate administrator, program administrator, or general user account for E-Verify.
A document issued to noncitizens that are authorized to work in the United States.
