E-Verify is a web-based system which permits enrolled businesses to determine whether their employees are legally authorized to work in the United States.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) has recently launched a redesigned website for employers using USCIS’ E-Verify Program. According to the USCIS press release, the recent updates include improved navigational tools to enhance ease-of-use, minimize errors, support compliance with the terms of use, and enable real-time validation of employers enrolling in E-Verify against commercial data.
A new home page, along with a new “case alerts” feature, improved case management, and streamlined tutorials are among the purported improvements to the E-Verify website. The new interface also has enhanced security features such as masking Social Security numbers to further protect privacy and ensure that only valid companies enroll in E-Verify.
According to the press release, all current E-Verify enrollees are required to complete an updated tutorial. There are actually two separate tutorials which take a total of about 20 minutes to complete. Click here to view the tutorials.
