Simplify E-Verify Efficiency for Employee Verification
ALERT: Obama Administration Mandates Federal Contractors Use E-Verify
July 8, 2009 - Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the Obama Administration will push ahead a long-stalled Bush administration initiative to mandate that federal contractors use the E-Verify system to confirm employee work authorization. After a careful review, the Administration will initiate full implementation of the rule, which will apply to federal solicitations and contract awards Government-wide starting on September 8, 2009.
The federal contractor rule will award federal contracts only to employers who use E-Verify, and extends use to an estimated 170,000 federal contractors and subcontractors, including those who receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. “Requiring those who seek federal contracts to use this system will create a more reliable and legal workforce”, said Secretary Napolitano. “The rule complements our Department’s continued efforts to strengthen immigration law enforcement and protect critical employment opportunities. As Senator Schumer and others have recognized, we need to continue to work to improve E-Verify, and we will.” See full article at:
