U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently announced the trial launch of E-Verify+, the next generation of the government’s electronic employment verification system.
E-Verify+ would fundamentally change the way employment eligibility verification is conducted, integrating the Form I-9 process with E-Verify and shifting much of the process away from HR to the new hires themselves.
Currently, employers must complete a Form I-9 for each new hire and enter the information into E-Verify if they are enrolled in the program.
The trial launch of E-Verify+ will include live testing and assessment of the user experience. Feedback from the testing will be incorporated when E-Verify+ is released for wider use.
