E-Verify, authorized by Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, is a web-based system through which employers electronically confirm the employment eligibility of their employees.

In the E-Verify process, employers create cases based on information taken from an employee’s Form i-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. E-Verify then electronically compares that information to records available to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration (SSA). The employer usually receives a response within a few seconds either confirming the employee’s employment eligibility or indicating that the employee needs to take further action to complete the case.

E-Verify is administered by SSA and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
