The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a press release on July 8, 2009, stating that the embattled Social Security no-match rule will be rescinded. Instead, DHS will increase focus on the E-Verify system for work authorization verification. According to the press release, the administration supports a regulation would require employers to use E-verify in order to receive federal contracts.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has published a pamphlet containing “Dos and Don’ts” in order to provide guidance to employers regarding E-Verify. There are other aspects that are illustrated in the pamphlets, readers and employers are advised to go through the same thoroughly to stay informed. The pamphlet clearly says that employers should use E-Verify to verify employment eligibility of new hires and not for current employees.
