3.0 E-Verify Process Overview

E-Verify employer agents are not able to create a case in E-Verify for their clients until they have enrolled the client. The initial verification page contains a field in which the E-Verify employer agent must select the client corresponding with the employee being verified.

The E-Verify process begins with a completed Form I-9. E-Verify confirms employment eligibility by comparing the employee’s Form I-9 information entered in E‑Verify by the E-Verify employer agent with the information in records available to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and/or Social Security Administration (SSA).
