On January 25, 2019, a short-term government funding bill was passed, which reopened the government until February 15, 2019. The funding allows for the resumption of E-Verify operations, and employers who participate in E-Verify must create an E-Verify case by February 11, 2019, for employees hired while E-Verify was unavailable. As a result of the shutdown, federal contractor deadlines in the Employment Eligibility Verification Federal Acquisition Regulation will be adjusted accordingly; and certain employees who received a Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) will be granted an additional ten (10) federal business days to contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) or DHS to resolve their cases.
For more information on the resumption of E-Verify operations, and employer and employee obligations, see this E-Verify alert.
