April 17, 2009 - PRLog -- Washington DC – ProSidian Consulting, LLC has been enrolled as a designated agent in the Department Of Homeland Security E-Verify Program.  E-Verify (formerly the Basic Pilot/Employment Eligibility Verification Program) is an online system operated jointly by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration (SSA).  Participation in E-Verify is as a vital step in new Federal Government procedures to ensure a legal United States workforce.  The E-Verify program electronically confirms an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States after completion of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form (Form I-9).  For covered government contractors, E-Verify is used to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees and all existing employees assigned to Federal contracts.

Beginning May 21, 2009 all federal contractors and subcontractors are required to begin using the E-Verify.  The new rule implements Executive Order 12989, as amended by President George W. Bush on June 6, 2008, directing federal agencies to require that federal contractors agree to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their employees.  The amended Executive Order reinforces the policy, first announced in 1996, that the federal government does business with companies that have a legal workforce.  The top industries using E-Verify include food services and drinking places, administrative and support services, professional and technical services, other information services, and clothing and accessories stores.  

The Department of Homeland Security works to anticipate, preempt, detect and deter threats to the homeland and to safeguard our people and their freedoms, critical infrastructure, property and the economy of our nation from acts of terrorism, natural disasters and other emergencies.  Participating employers can check the work status of new hires online by comparing information from an employee's I-9 form against SSA and Department of Homeland Security databases.  E-Verify reduces unauthorized employment, minimizes verification-related discrimination, is quick and non-burdensome to employers, and protects civil liberties and employee privacy.

For covered government contractors, E-Verify will be used to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees and all existing employees assigned to Federal contracts.  Participation in E-Verify does not exempt an Employer from the responsibility to complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms I-9 that relate to its employees, or from other requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with respect to Form I-9 procedures.  Federal contractors subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), must also verify the employment eligibility of any “employee assigned to the contract” (as defined in FAR 22.1801) in addition to verifying the employment eligibility of all other employees are required to be verified under the FAR.
