Understanding employment eligibility verifications.

The I-9 Employment Eligibility Form reports a new employee's eligibility to work in the United States, including their Social Security number. To electronically verify this information, the government established the E-Verify program. Verified Credentials is a certified "Designated Agent" for E-Verify, providing our clients access to an enhanced Electronic I-9 Verification process.

As part of the E-Verify process, employment eligibility of new hires is verified through Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration databases.

Information verified may include:

Social Security number
Work visa authorization
Immigration “A” number
I-94 arrival and departure numbers

E-Verify rules and regulations.

Participation in E-Verify and Electronic I-9 Verifications means conducting verifications on all new employees without exceptions. Every employee must complete the Form I-9 and the Electronic I-9 Verification process within three government business days of their hire date. Additional regulations may apply to federal contractors and sub-contractors. Contact us for more information about E-Verify regulations.

If you participate in E-Verify, you must complete the Form I-9 and E-Verify process within 3 government business days from the hire date for every new employee.

No. E-Verify I-9 verification can only be used on new employees within 3 days from the hire date. Some exceptions apply for federal contractors and sub-contractors.

No. Once you register with E-Verify, the I-9 Verification must be conducted equally on ALL new hires. Some exceptions apply for federal contractors and sub-contractors.

As long as you comply with USCIS requirements for Form I-9s, you are fulfilling your obligations. The only exception is that some Federal contractors and sub-contractors are required to complete Electronic I-9 Verifications.

However, we do make I-9 verifications easier. Online verification of proofs of citizenship, digital document storage and automated email notices make the process simpler and provide peace of mind.
