E-Verify is an Internet-based system
that allows enrolled employers to confirm the eligibility of their
employees to work in the United States. E-Verify employers
electronically verify the employment eligibility of newly hired
employees by matching information provided by employees on the Form
I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9), against
existing information accessed by the Verification Information
System (VIS), a composite information system that checks the data
entered by the employer against data from the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), the Social Security Administration (SSA),
the U.S. Department of State (DOS), and certain state Department of
Motor Vehicle divisions. This Supporting Statement describes
E-Verify enhancements that will assist E-Verify employers with
preventing document fraud and with electronically verifying the
employment authorization of employees with expiring temporary work
authorization. Employers create an E-Verify case by entering the
information collected on Form I-9 into E-Verify. E-Verify then
returns an initial case result. Over 98 percent of cases are
returned as “Employment Authorized.” A Tentative Nonconfirmation
(TNC) may be issued if the information entered by the employer does
not match government records during the initial electronic check.
The employer must notify the employee when a TNC is received and
advise the employee of his or her right to contest the TNC with the
appropriate government agency (either SSA or DHS). If the employee
chooses to contest the TNC, he or she must notify the employer. The
employer is instructed to record the employee’s decision to contest
the TNC and refer the case in E-Verify. The employer must then
provide the employee with a Referral Date Confirmation, which
advises the employee that he/she has eight Federal Government
workdays from the referral date to visit or call the appropriate
agency to begin resolving the TNC.

Adjustments were made to
include existing employees with expiring temporary work
authorization. Previously, with the exception of certain Federal
contractors, employers used E-Verify only for new hires. Employers
would now use E-Verify for new hires and for reverification of
existing employees with expiring temporary work authorization. This
represents a 13,974 increase in the burden hours.
