Latest Developments in E-Verify Requirements for Federal Contractors

With numerous appeals filed, monitoring the evolving developments regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13465 requiring certain employers qualified as federal contractors to enroll in the Department of Homeland Security's employment verification system has been a full-time occupation.

On September 8, 2009, the "federal contractor" rule mandating E-Verify enrollment and usage for many federal government contractors and sub-contractors became effective. The E-Verify federal contractor requirement will be triggered upon the inclusion of specific Federal Acquisitions Regulations language in a new federal contract or a modification or amendment of an existing federal contract.
