E-VERIFY

---

What is E-Verify?

E-Verify  is an Internet-based system that compares information from an  employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from  U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration  records to confirm employment eligibility.

Why E-Verify?

Why  do people come to the United States illegally?  They come here to  work.  The public can, and should, choose to reward companies that  follow the law and employ a legal workforce.

The  U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working to stop unauthorized  employment.  By using E-Verify to determine the employment eligibility  of their employees, companies become part of the solution in addressing  this problem.

Employment eligibility verification is good business and it's the law.

Who Uses E-Verify?

More  than 409,000 employers, large and small, across the United States use  E-Verify to check the employment eligibility of their employees, with  about 1,300 new businesses signing up each week.While participation in  E-Verify is voluntary for most businesses, some companies may be  required by state law or federal regulation to use E-Verify.  For  example, most employers in Arizona and Mississippi are required to use  E-Verify. E-Verify is also mandatory for employers with federal  contracts or subcontracts that contain the Federal Acquisition  Regulation E-Verify clause.
