E-Verify is an electronic program through which employers verify eligibility for employment of a worker, either U.S. or foreign born. The program was authorized by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. It is an internet-based system that compares information entered by an employer from an employee’s Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to records available to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to confirm employment eligibility.
