E-Verify System Available to Employers

Category: Immigration
Year: 2008

For employers interested in a way to electronically verify the employment eligibility of new employees, the E-Verify system administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service is a new solution.  PHCC learned details about the free E-Verify system at an Essential Workers Immigration Coalition (EWIC) meeting this week.  While the Internet-based system has not been federally mandated for all employers yet, it can be used voluntarily.  There are some states, however, that are scheduled to mandate the use of this system for all employers within that state: Arizona, Colorado, Georgia and Oklahoma.  Click here for a fact sheet about the program.  For more information on E-Verify or to become a voluntary user of this new system click here, or call 1-800-357-2099.
