E-Verify

2010 Budget Includes $110 Million For E-Verify

February 27, 2009 By Chris Miller

The Obama administration has requested $110 million to continue expanding the E-Verify system which is an electronic employment eligibility verification system.  E-Verify helps U.S. employers comply with immigration law and ensures that U.S. jobs are available to U.S. citizens and those authorized to work in the United States.

The Office of Management and Budget released the president’s budget, titled “ A New Era of Responsibility.”

$100 Million For E-Verify

October 2, 2008 By Chris Miller

Border Crossing

On September 30, 2008, President Bush signed a spending bill (H.R. 2638) which includes $100 million in funding for the E-Verify Program until March 6, 2009.

E-Verify is an online system operated jointly by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). Participating employers can check the work status of new hires online by comparing information from an employee’s I-9 form against SSA and Department of Homeland Security databases.

The E-Verify program was scheduled to sunset at the end of November 2008 if it was not extended or reauthorized. The Department of Homeland Security’s Appropriations bill allocated $100 million and 255 positions for E-Verify.

E-Verify still remains a voluntary program even though some states, including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina and most recently Missouri have all mandated its use in some form.

With this funding, I expect there will be a push for more states to mandate it’s use even though it’s not a perfect system.
