Mandatory E-Verify for All US Employers: Increased Penalties and Identity Protection.
This law makes the federal E-Verify system mandatory for all US employers to check the work eligibility of both new and existing employees. It significantly increases penalties for non-compliance and unauthorized hiring, aiming to secure the workforce and combat identity theft. The system will be permanently authorized and enhanced with new fraud detection algorithms.
Key points
All US employers must use the E-Verify system to check the employment eligibility of all new hires and existing staff within one year of the law's enactment.
Fines for hiring unauthorized workers are substantially increased, and repeat violators face potential debarment from federal contracts.
Federal agencies (DHS, IRS, SSA) are required to share information to better identify unauthorized workers and prevent identity fraud.
