Introduction to E-Verify

Overview:

Introduction to E-Verify is a practical, beginner-friendly webinar designed for employers, HR professionals, nonprofit administrators, and small business owners who want a clear understanding of how employment eligibility verification works in the United States.

As hiring requirements continue to evolve, many organizations find E-Verify confusing, uncertain when it is required, or unsure how it fits into their existing onboarding processes. This webinar provides a straightforward explanation of the system and its role in supporting lawful and consistent hiring practices.

Participants will learn what E-Verify is, why it was created, and how it is administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in partnership with the Social Security Administration. The session explains how E-Verify connects to Form I-9, including when an employer may create an E-Verify case and what information is used in the verification process. Special attention is given to clarifying when E-Verify participation is mandatory, such as for certain federal contractors or state-regulated employers, and when it remains voluntary.

The webinar also covers employer responsibilities and employee rights, helping attendees understand how to use E-Verify correctly and fairly. Topics include proper timing, handling Tentative Nonconfirmations (TNCs), employee notification requirements, and avoiding common compliance mistakes. By understanding these core principles, employers can reduce confusion, improve internal consistency, and support a respectful hiring process.

By the end of the session, attendees will have a solid foundation in E-Verify fundamentals, a clearer understanding of their obligations, and practical insights they can apply immediately to their workplace hiring practices.
