E-Verify Employers: Complete the E-Verify Verification Process

To properly complete the E-Verify process, employers must close every case they create.

How do I know if I have open cases? 

Look for a red circle on the bottom of the E-Verify homepage indicating the number of cases that require attention. You can access each case alert by clicking on the alert.

 

 How do I close a case?

• Every case should receive a final case result and then be closed. The E-Verify User Manual outlines the following steps to close a case: From the Employment Eligibility, screen click close case.
• Indicate where the employee is still employed.
• Select the appropriate case closure statement.
• Record the case verification number on the employee’s Form I-9, or print the case details and file it with the employee’s Form I-9.
• This completes the E-Verify verification process.

Should I close all cases that have received a final result?

Yes. E-Verify program rules require employers to complete the verification process for cases that have received an Employment Authorized or Final Non-Confirmation result by promptly closing the case.

Should I close cases that have been open for an extended period of time?

Yes. E-Verify program rules require employers to complete the verification process on all cases by following the steps to promptly close the case.
