On October 28th, President Obama signed the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill for fiscal year 2010, extending E-Verify through September 30, 2012. The bill passed the house on October 15th and the Senate on the 20th.
Passage of this bill is consistent with the Administration’s stated intention to eventually make E-Verify mandatory for all employers (as we reported in April of this year).
E-Verify is an online system dependent upon the Form I-9 that is intended to allow employers to verify the employment authorization of newly hired employees.
