The Department of Homeland Security has proposed to establish a new
system of records entitled “Department of Homeland Security/United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services—SORN DHS/ USCIS—013
E-Verify Self Check System of Records.” This new system the USCIS
E-Verify Self Check, will be voluntary and available to any individual
wishing to check his or her work authorization status prior to
employment. This should help individuals correct potential errors that
may exist in the federal databases that power the E-Verify system.
A person who use the E-Verify Self Check system will be notified that
either (a) his/her information matched the information in the federal
databases and he or she is work authorized; or (b) his/her information
did not match information in the federal databases. If there is a
mismatch of data, instructions will be provided as to how the person
can correct his/her record.
This new system will be effective starting March 18, 2011.
