E-Verify works by comparing the information employees provide for Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against records available to DHS and SSA.
E-Verify Case
Generally, if the information matches, the employee’s case receives an Employment Authorized result in E-Verify. If the information does not match, the case will receive a Tentative Nonconfirmation (Mismatch) result and the employer must give the employee an opportunity to take action to resolve the mismatch.
Tentative Nonconfirmation (Mismatch) Overview | Article
Your employer may inform you that your E-Verify case received a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and/or Social Security Administration (SSA) Tentative Nonconfirmation (mismatch) case result.
A DHS and/or SSA mismatch means that the information your employer entered in E-Verify from your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, did not match records available to DHS and/or SSA.
