The federal regulation making enrollment and participation in E-Verify mandatory for certain federal contractors has been postponed… again. No, this alert has not inadvertently popped into your inbox a third time. The regulation was originally scheduled to take effect on January 15, 2009, but the effective date has been pushed back three times. The effective date is currently June 30, 2009. We will be sure to notify you if additional changes to the effective date are made.
Although this rule has not been published yet, the American Immigration Lawyer’s Association (AILA) received an advanced copy of the rule, which has allowed us to alert bLAWg readers early. Notification of this change is scheduled to appear in the Federal Register on April 17, 2009.
The delay in implementation of this rule provides a valuable opportunity for employers to make sure they are fully compliant with I-9 rules and procedures before enrolling in E-Verify.
