E-Verify

Published by Social Security Administration | Social Security Administration | Catalog Last Checked: October 08, 2026 at 10:38 PM | Dataset Last Updated: December 19, 2017
Through an automated confirmation system, an employer matches information provided by a new employee (Form I-9) against existing information contained in Social Security Administration's (SSA) and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) databases. The SSA E-Verify System (SSA E-Verify) determines a specific verification code based upon information (SSN, DOB, L-Name, F-Name) in the NUMIDENT database. The verification code is returned to DHS E-Verify (DHS E-Verify) along with the original verification request. The message to the employer is determined by DHS E-Verify based on SSA's verification code.
