Steps

  1. Collect the employee's Form I-9 Section 1 data and supporting document information required for E-Verify case creation before proceeding.
  2. Create the E-Verify case no later than three business days after the employee's first day of employment, using either the web interface or Web Services integration.
  3. Review the initial case result; if Employment Authorized is returned, record the case number and close the case.
  4. If a Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) is returned, notify the employee as soon as possible and no later than within the 10 federal government working days allowed for employer action; provide the employee a copy of the Further Action Notice.
  5. If the employee chooses to contest the TNC, refer the case in E-Verify and inform the employee they have 8 federal working days to contact DHS or SSA to resolve the mismatch; the employee must be allowed to continue working during this period.
  6. Monitor the case for resolution and update your records with the final case result when it becomes available.
