Seyfarth Shaw reports:
“The federal government has extended, for a fourth time, the effective date of the E-Verify requirement for federal government contractors. The regulation is now set to take effect on September 8, 2009. The effective date is being delayed to give the Obama administration additional time to review the regulation, which was originally scheduled to be implemented on January 15, 2009. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, an official announcement of the delay is expected to be published in the Federal Register this week.”
