US Citizenship and Immigration Services today launched its new E-Verify.gov website. The website provides information on electronic employment eligibility verification as well as information about employee rights and employer responsibilities in the employment verification process. Employers can enroll in E-Verify through the website and current users can access their accounts. Individuals with myE-Verify accounts can also access their accounts through E-Verify.gov.

According to Staffing Industry Analysts’ research, usage of the website is up sharply over last eight years. Almost all staffing executives, 97%, are aware of the E-Verify system and 75% of staffing firms use it.

“For the past decade, E-Verify has been the cornerstone of our continued commitment to helping employers maintain a legal workforce,” said USCIS Director L. Francis Cissna. “E-Verify.gov now allows users to better understand and navigate through the employment verification process.”
