E-Verify Required for Federal Contracts

Starting Sept. 8, only those firms that E-Verify, which electronically checks whether employees are  authorized to work in the U.S will be eligible for federal contracts.

The administration announced Wednesday that federal contractors and subcontractors would soon be required to verify that their employees are eligible to work in the U.S using the E-Verify system.

Beginning Sept. 8, the government will award contracts only to companies that enroll in E-Verify, an online program that uses federal databases to check whether employees are in the country legally and authorized to work. Businesses receiving money under the federal stimulus program also will be subjected to the rule.
