E-Verify Privacy Issues | News from Immigration Compliance Group

Friday, April 27th, 2012

One of the most important questions in the mind of both employer and employee is:  What if information about the employee is wrong – can they fix inaccurate information about themselves in E-Verify?

If E-Verify is unable to automatically verify an individual’s status in order to authorize employment, a Status Verifier will manually review the information and conduct searches of other Federal government databases and, where necessary, will update any underlying information contained within the various DHS databases queried.  After a result is returned on an employment authorization query, E-Verify provides two methods of information correction and redress for employees.  If an employee receives a Tentative Non Confirmation, or TNC, they may correct their information through the Social Security Administration (SSA) or DHS.

After the verification process is complete, individuals have the opportunity to access and correct their information through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or Privacy Act (PA) process.
