Photo Tool
• Employees presenting a Temporary Resident, Permanent Resident, or Employment Authorization card will be photo verified
• This enables employers to match the employee’s picture ID to the Homeland Security file photo to detect fraud/identity theft

E-Verify Process• Initial verification will return one of
three results within seconds:
– Employment Authorized: The employee is authorized to work
– SSA Tentative Non-confirmation: There is an information mismatch with the Social Security Administration
– DHS Verification In Progress: Homeland Security will usually respond within 24 hours with either an employment authorized or Non-confirmation decision

Tentative Non-Confirmations
– The client will be given a letter indicating the tentative non-confirmation, which must be presented to the employee. He/She will be given 2 options:
• Contest the findings: The employee will be directed to the appropriate agency to resolve the issue within 8 federal working days
• Not Contest the findings: This is considered a final non-confirmation and the employer can terminate the employee and resolve the case.
In all cases, the employee must SIGN the notice of non-confirmation as well as the person (supervisor) presenting the letter to the employee
