More companies get E-Verify mandate
July 3, 2008 by Sam NarisiPosted in: Applicant background screening, In this week's e-newsletter, Latest News & Views, Security and law
Several states already require companies to use the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system for new hires. Now the rules are going nationwide.
Last week, President Bush issued an executive order requiring all companies that contract with the federal government to use the verification system.
As a condition of each contract, employers will now have to use E-Verify for employment verification of:
- anyone hired during the contract term, and
- anyone assigned to perform work related to the contract.
Penalties for violating the new rule include being barred from future contracting with the feds.

Congress just voted to not continue funding E-verify past this November. If it is to continue it will need to be in a different format with less mistakes or maybe employers will be expected to fund it with some newly imposed tax as yet unnamed.

Can you provide a list of the states that require all employers do use the e-verify system?
Thankyou

What is an employer to do? We have federal contracts but if E-verify is going away, how do we comply?
