E-Verify
(formerly known as the Basic Pilot/Employment Eligibility
Verification Program) is an Internet-based system operated by
the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with the
Social Security Administration that allows participating
employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of
their newly hired employees.
E-Verify is free
and voluntary and is the best means available for determining
employment eligibility of new hires and the validity of their
Social Security Numbers. The E-Verify program will be launching
new and exciting changes later next month, such as photo
screening features and online resources for employees.
