It has really helped our company! It is simple to use and we get immediate response. It sure helps to make it safe for the company as far as keeping legal people working. I love it and really hope that it is made mandatory

The e-verify program has worked very well for our company. Only two employees out of 20 or so have been required to visit the social security office; one had not changed her name after getting married and one we transposed the first and last name. We’ve had a couple who decided not to challenge the findings and were not allowed to work for us. The real problem is that we are not allowed to use it on all employees; not that I’m anxious for all the extra work it would create. Until we can use it to verify all employees status, I’d like all the anti-immigration fanatics to quit blaming employers for the problem. Once they were hired under the old system with documents that appeared normal, we could not challenge their citizenship status without discrimination lawsuits looming on the horizon. Either fix the problem for employers or leave us alone!

Whether or not it has “Passed” requirement, I feel it would behove us HR personal and as US citizens
to use it. It ensures us that the personnel being hired are entitled to work in the USA. All legal immigrants will have an accurate set of Identification . This will help prevent fraud as well. I totally love it., It has helped a few empoyees who had some “issues” to be made aware of it and allowed them to clear the problem up. It has also prevented persons from being hired who should not be working until they receive proper documentation….Love IT…..

Nicole N, you are correct. Colorado should not be on the list that requires private employers to use E-Verify. In this state, private employers have to use E-Verify only if they have a contract to do a job funded by the state. Otherwise, private employers only use E-Verify at their discretion.

Based on my (limited) research, I have found that the only states that require all employers to use E-verify are AZ, MS and SC. Is this incorrect? I have found conflicting information on various websites and would like to know the legal requirements. Thanks!

I am confused. If President Bush has requested $100 million to keep this system going then
why are there so few states requiring employers to use E-Verify. We live in the USA don’t we?
It should be manditory. It is such a easy system.

This program is great, it takes the guess work out. It’s user friendly and quick. It would be a down right shame If we couldn’t use it anymore, It helps the employer by taking us out of the middle some what so to speak. When you get a no match just send them to the agency to get the problem corrected.

While not perfect we have not found it to be a burden in any way, the few no matches who were legal to work here were able to go in SS office and get the records staighten out, which was really a service to the employee too and eventually they will need it corrected when they retire. My payroll administrator finds it very easy to use.
Some of our Representatives and Senators need to get more familiar with it be fore they make their statements to the media.

Excellent program.
