USCIS Expands Pilot Program that Provides Employers with Web-based Work Authorization Confirmation

The USCIS has been operating a pilot program that enables employers to get automated confirmation of a newly hired employee’s work authorization after the completion of an Employment Eligibility Verification form (I-9). This pilot program has been provided to employers in six states. As of December 1, this program has been expanded and is now offered to employers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Web-based access is now provided to all employers who volunteer to participate in this pilot program.
