The U.S. Department of Homeland Security E-Verify program has now resumed operations. The program was down for a brief period of unavailability due to the current government shutdown.
Employers who participate in E-Verify must create an E-Verify case by Tuesday, Oct. 14 for each employee hired while E-Verify was not available. You must use the hire date from the employee’s Form I9 when creating the E-Verify case. If you could not create an E-Verify case by the third business day after the employee began work for pay because E-Verify was unavailable, E-Verify will prompt you during case creation to provide a reason for the delay.
