Form I-9 , Employment Eligibility Verification, is the key element of E-Verify ’s web-based employment eligibility verification. E-Verify electronically compares information the employer enters from Form I-9 to records available to the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This verification confirms an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States.
Although E-Verify uses information from Form I-9 , there are some important differences between Form I-9 and E-Verify requirements.
