Mandatory Use of E-Verify Required for Certain Contractors By Fall 2009
Beginning September 8, 2009, certain government contractors must utilize the E-Verify program to confirm their employees' ability to work legally in the United States, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced earlier this month.
The rule will only affect federal contractors who are awarded a new contract after September 8, 2009, that includes the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) E-Verify clause (73 FR 67704).
E-Verify is a free online system that compares information from employees' I-9 forms to federal government databases in order to confirm their employment eligibility. Click here to read the DHS press release about E-Verify or access the E-Verify site by visiting this link. |
