The E-Verify system has resumed operations, following the temporary budget resolution passed by Congress last Friday, and a new deadline has been set for submission of E-Verify queries for new employees hired during the government shutdown.
Key points for employers:
For TNC cases referred after E-Verify resumed operations, employers should not add days to the Referral Date Confirmation. If an employee decided to contest the TNC when E-Verify was unavailable, the employer should now refer the case and follow the TNC process.
BAL Analysis: Employers should observe the Feb. 11, 2019 deadline for submitting E-Verify cases and follow instructions for TNCs. The system is likely to experience high demand in the coming days and employers should plan for lengthier processing times. The full announcement on the resumption of services can be viewed here.
