E-Verify
E-Verify is a free Web-based system that electronically verifies the employment eligibility of newly hired employees.
E-Verify is a partnership between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) oversees the program.
E-Verify works by allowing participating employers to electronically compare employee information taken from the Form I-9 against more than 449 million records in SSA's database and more than 80 million records in DHS immigration databases.
Participation in E-Verify is currently voluntary and free to employers. To participate, an employer must enroll online and accept the electronic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that details the responsibilities of SSA, DHS, and the employer.
The top industries using E-Verify include food services and drinking places, administrative and support services, professional and technical services, other information services, and clothing and accessories stores.
