Abstract
US law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States - either US citizens, or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization.
E-Verify is a US government program that lets employers verify the identity and employment eligibility of all persons hired to work in the United States.
Employers who choose to utilize E-Verify provide the Social Security Administration (SSA) and, if necessary, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with information from each new hire's I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) form to confirm work authorization. This information is compared to data in US government records.
Consult the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website for information about:
E-Verify is a US-only task.
