E-Verify is an Internet based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA) that allows participating employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees. E-Verify is free and voluntary.

However, federal contractors will shortly be required to use this system.*

The effective date, however has been pushed back until September 8, 2009. The rules were originally published on Nov. 14, 2008, available here.

Additional information about E-Verify is available from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

* PELP Comments: A State or local government contractor may elect to verify only new hires assigned to the contract.
