Do I Need to Use E-Verify?

In some states E-Verify is voluntary while other states require participation in E-Verify for some employers or all employers. Visit our State Resources page to find out if your state requires E-Verify. Since 2009, all federal contractors and their subcontractors (paid over $3,000) have been required to use E-Verify to confirm that their new hires and all existing employees working directly on federal contracts are authorized to work in the U.S.     

Benefits of Using E-Verify:
 
 •    Ensures compliance with laws and regulations. Ensure new hires have a right to work in the United States. If employees are undocumented, there could be legal repercussions for your business.
 
•    Provides employment to U.S. citizens and eligible individuals. Ensure you hire people who are eligible for employment, whether they live in the U.S. or another country. 
 
•    Promotes accurate tax reporting.
