This week, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) launched a new website at E-Verify.gov. The site is modernized and more user-friendly, providing information about E-Verify and Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, including employee rights and employer responsibilities in the employment verification process. Upgrade details can be found on the E-Verify Enhancements April 2018 webpage.
E-Verify.gov allows employers to enroll in E-Verify directly and permits current users to access their accounts anytime, anywhere. Nearly all employees are confirmed as work-authorized instantly or within 24 hours. The system, which has nearly 800,000 enrolled employers, compares information from an employee’s Form I-9 to records available to the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to verify authorization to work in the U.S.
On April 23, USCIS announced the E-Verify program modernized its system to improve users’ experience, reduce errors, and increase the speed and accuracy of the employment eligibility verification process. Improvements include:
