What is the purpose of E-Verify?

The purpose of E-Verify is to help employers verify employment authorization documents of a newly hired employees. Once the employer collects verification documents, the participating employer can electronically submit the information to USCIS for verification. In case, the documents do not match, the program requires employers to resolve discrepancies between their employee records and those of the Social Security Administration and/or the Department of Homeland Security. This program is problematic because once the employer is notified of the discrepancy, the employer must make a decision to either terminate the employment or continue the employment and risk criminal and/or civil penalties for non-compliance. Either step is problematic for employers because an employer could be sued for wrongful termination or as mentioned above risk criminal and/or civil penalties for noncompliance.
