For Employees: Your employer may inform you that your E-Verify case received a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and/or Social Security Administration (SSA) Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) case result. A DHS and/or SSA TNC means that the information your employer entered in E-Verify from your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, did not match records available to DHS and/or SSA. A DHS and/or SSA TNC case result does not necessarily mean that you are not authorized to work in the United States.

The process description here explains the types of TNC’s and guides you through the resolution process.

For Employers: Employers whose employees receive a TNC must provide them with the further Action Notice from E-Verify and discuss it privately with them. Please review here for the steps in the process.
