E-Verify changes take effect (access required)

E-Verify has launched changes to its design and user interface that include requiring employers to complete a tutorial before they are able to verify a new hire’s employment eligibility.

The changes went into effect June 14, said William Wright, a spokesperson for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

E-Verify is an online database that helps employers check the work authorization and validity of Social Security numbers for new hires.

The redesign is intended to enhance security and make the system more efficient and accurate.

Current users will be able to keep their ID and password, but must take a 20-minute tutorial after logging in.

USCIS has created a web page to assist employers with the change, including a new manual, webinars and how-to videos demonstrating how to create, view and close a case, as well as how to respond to a tentative non-confirmation.
