E-Verify Under Scrutiny: Shutdowns, State Mandates, and System Gaps Spark Compliance Debate
When the federal system for verifying new hires was suspended on October 1, companies were left unable to confirm work eligibility or resolve mismatches. The outage raised a serious question: How prepared are employers when E-Verify goes offline? In a recent article by Thomson Reuters, John Connolly states, “The government E-Verify system is not foolproof, right? It’s vulnerable to identity theft, you know, which has been proven. And you know, it’s not a perfect system.” He stressed that E-Verify should be considered one part of a broader compliance strategy, not a guarantee of protection.
