Client Alert: E-Verify Compliance Pushed Again to September 8, 2009

E-Verify – What is it?  By Executive Order 13465, the President has directed the Department of Homeland Security to implement a new electronic employment verification system (coined “E-Verify”).  In short, E-Verify is a government database developed to help identify illegal aliens in the U.S. workforce.  E‑Verify represents a new compliance requirement for government contractors and their employees (the “E-Verify Rule”).  The E-Verify Rule is applicable to contractors by operation on FAR Clause 52.222‑54, entitled “Employment Eligibility Verification.”  The E-Verify Rule was supposed to take effect on June 30, 2009.  The Government has extended the effective date now to September 8, 2009.
