The Date Sticks: E-Verify Requirement for Federal Contractors to Begin on September 8, 2009
August 28th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
The recent decision by the U.S. District Court means that the federal regulation making enrollment and participation in E-Verify mandatory for certain federal contractors and subcontractors will go into effect on September 8, 2009. This date had been pushed back four times as a result of the change in administration and ongoing litigation. The federal government will include a clause with the E-Verify requirement in all federal contracts issued after September 8, 2009 and may modify existing qualified contracts.
For more information about E-Verify requirements please read our January 8, 2009 bLAWg post on the topic. Information can also be found on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.
Employers should make sure they are fully compliant with Form I-9 rules and procedures before enrolling in E-Verify. To learn more about the auditing and training services offered by GoffWilson, or for more information on the new regulation, please visit GoffWilson.com or call (603) 228-1277.
