Federal law requires all U.S. employers to complete Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, for every employee hired. Both the employee, and employer, must complete this form. Section I of the Form I-9 must be completed no later than the first day of employment. The employee must also present acceptable documents as evidence of identify and employment authorization to the employer within three business days of the first day of employment, for the employer’s completion of Section II of the Form I-9. (If the position is for less than three days, Section II must be completed no later than the first day of work for pay.)
E-Verify is an Internet based system administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA) that allows participating employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their employees. E-Verify checks the information provided on an employee’s Form I-9 electronically against records contained in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and SSA’s databases.
