USCIS continues to enhance its E-Verify program. Its latest enhancement
allows direct notifications to employees. Currently, if a record
mismatch needs to be resolved before an employee can be confirmed as
authorized to work, a Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) is sent to the
employer. The employer is guided to contact the employee. With this new
enhancement, employees who voluntarily provide their emails on the I-9
form will be informed of TNCs at the same time that employers are
informed.
TNCs occur when information an employer provides USCIS about an employee
does not match data found in the Department of Homeland Security or
Social Security Administration records. The provision of an email
address by an employee on the new I-9 form is voluntary and not
required.
