E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows an employer to determine the eligibility of employees to work in the United States. For most employers the use of E-Verify is limited to determining the employment eligibility of new hires only.
 
The E-Verify system is operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA). In 2009, the US Department of Homeland Security made it mandatory for federal contractors and subcontractors to use E-Verify to validate that their employees are eligible to work in the United States.
 
Since then several states have created e-Verify legislation requiring employers to use the e-Verify system to check the employment eligiblity of their employees. The list of states signing on to use e-Verify grows everyday. Click here to see a list of the states with legislation that require the use of e-Verify in the hiring process.

Employers who are unaware of state and federal regulations regarding this tool may be out of compliance and thereby at risk for the fines and other penalties associated with non-compliance. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has significantly increased the number of I-9 audits conducted and, as a result, has found many organizations with employees who are not legally authorized to work in the U.S. Employers should make use of the cover provided by the e-Verify system by verifying the employment eligiblity of all new hires through the system.
