E-Verify for Federal Contractors – Supplemental Guidance and Enrollment Questions
September 30th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
In case you haven’t seen it yet, the USCIS released supplemental E-Verify guidance specifically for Federal Contractors. This 22-page document can be found here.
Also, we have received inquiries from companies who don’t want to wait to enroll in E-Verify until they receive their new or amended contract. Please be advised that while any company is allowed to enroll in E-Verify at any time, companies cannot enroll in E-Verify as a Federal Contractor until they receive a new contract that contains the E-Verify clause or an existing contract is amended to include this clause. This is an important distinction to make, since the requirements and allowances for Federal Contractors and voluntarily-enrolled E-Verify users are different. Employers who voluntarily enroll in E-Verify before they receive a federal contract must amend their status within E-Verify after the contract with the E-Verify clause has been awarded. If you have questions, please contact us.
