Mandatory Use of E-Verify for Federal Contractors
Further Delayed

         The final rule mandating use of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) E-Verify system for certain qualifying federal contractors and subcontractors has been suspended again, this time until June 30, 2009.  Please see prior Ice Miller alerts related to the applicability of E-Verify to federal contractors and subcontractors and the current legal challenge facing the rule: original alert, alert on the first delay and the alert on the second delay.

         Please contact Tami Earnhart with any questions regarding your requirement to enroll in E-Verify as a federal contractor or subcontractor or Jenifer Brown regarding E-Verify in general or other questions concerning I-9 compliance, employment verification, and other immigration-related issues.
