Free E-Verify Seminar
Everify Info LinkThe Department of Homeland Security invites you to its E-Verify Informational Seminar - a half-day information session. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the E-Verify program and its proper use. A live demonstration of the E-Verify system and a question and answer segment will allow participants to receive a full understanding of the program and key features.
 
What is E-Verify?
 
E-Verify is a free Internet-based system that allows employers the ability to confirm the legal working status of a new hire in seconds. E-Verify is a partnership between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). E-Verify works by allowing participating employers to electronically compare employee information taken from the Form I-9 (the paper-based employee eligibility verification form used for all new hires) against more than 425 million records in SSA's database and more than 60 million records in DHS immigration databases.

When is the E-Verify Informational Seminar?
 
In order to make it easy for business owners and busy professionals, six identical sessions have been scheduled. R.S.V.P. for the session that best fits your schedule!
