E-Verify

E-Verify is an online system used in the United States to confirm the eligibility of employees to work. Employers submit information from new hires' documents, like Social Security cards or work permits, to E-Verify, which checks it against government records. This process helps prevent unauthorized employment and ensures compliance with immigration laws. While participation is voluntary for most employers, some federal contractors or states require it. E-Verify aims to enhance workplace security and protect jobs for authorized workers.
