E-Verify (Understanding the New Ruling on Employment Eligibility Verification)
What is E-Verify?
E-Verify (formerly known as the Basic Pilot/Employment Eligibility Verification Program) is an Internet based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA) that allows participating employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees.
E-Verify works by allowing participating employers to electronically compare employee information taken from the I-9 Form against more than 425 million records in SSA's database and more than 60 million records in DHS' immigration databases. Results are returned within seconds.
