Abstract: Section 401(b) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA); Public Law. 104-208, dated September 30, 1996, provided for the establishment of a Basic Pilot Program to last 4 years. Subsequently Congress passed Public Laws 107-128, and 108-156 which extended the Basic Pilot Program until November 30, 2008. Also, as a result of Executive Order 13465 issued June 6, 2008, and a directive from the Secretary of Homeland Security, federal contractors will be required to verify their employees' eligibility to work in the United States through the E-Verify system. The Basic Pilot Program (now called E-Verify) allows employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility status of employees by matching information provided by employees on the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against existing information contained in the Verification Information System (VIS), a database that hits against both Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Department of Homeland Security data.
