The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 requires employers to examine documentation from each newly hired employee to prove his or her identity and eligibility to work in the United States. This act led to the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, requiring employees to attest to their work eligibility, and employers to certify that the documents presented reasonably appear to be genuine and to relate to the individual. In 1996, The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 created the voluntary Basic Pilot Program allowing employers to confirm the work eligibility of newly hired employees by comparing information from the employee's Form I-9 to the information in the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) – which became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2003 – and Social Security Administration (SSA). In 2007, the Basic Pilot Program was renamed E-Verify. E-Verify is an Internet-based program run by the United States government that is free to employers, available in all 50 states, and provides an automated link to federal databases to help employers determine employment eligibility of new hires and the validity of their Social Security numbers.

Utilizing databases administered by the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration, employers can utilize E-Verify to check the information on an I-9 form to determine that individual’s employment eligibility. To participate in the E-Verify (Basic Pilot) Program, an employer can contact the program directly and set up thier own account, or may use the assistance of a third party. To utilize ESR to assist in this aspect of your hiring process, an employer must first provide ESR with information so that ESR can register the employer. As part of the registration process, an employer must execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that sets forth the responsibilities of the Social Security Administration, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Bureau, and the employer.
Although the program is voluntary on the federal level except for certain government contractors, ,many employers find that utilizing ESR as their agent to participate in the program has numerous advantageous. Some states have also passed requirements that emolyers utilize E-Verify. Because many employers do not have the time or resources to personally verify the employment eligibility and other critical information of all potential employees, ESR can provide this valuable serve. Most critically, if an employee is not verified, ESR can help walk an employer through the necessary steps.
