雖然美國政府還在停擺，但E-Verify 恢復運作，來看看DHS最新的公告重點和操作指引吧 👇
📌 新指引重點速讀（DHS / USCIS 公告整理）
1. E-Verify 恢復運作 + 補建案件
👉 DHS 已確認 E-Verify 系統恢復運作（系統不穩定期間已恢復線上功能）。
👉 對於那些在系統不可用期間入職的員工，所有參與 E-Verify 的雇主必須在 10 月 14 日前 補建 E-Verify 案件。
👉 補案時要用員工的 I-9 僱用日期作為「入職日」參照。
👉 若因系統不可用而沒能在三個工作日內建立案例，需要在「延遲原因」選擇 “Other”，並在備註中填寫 “E-Verify not available”。系統不會把不可用期間計入三天內限制。
2. 身分不符（Mismatch / TNC）處理調整
如果員工有意願對身分不符異議（Contest），雇主必須給新的Referral Date Confirmation（更新的聯絡截止日），有三種方式：
👉 在 E-Verify 裡印出新版通知
👉 手寫補上更新日期在原通知上
👉 加六個聯邦工作日到原截止日上
但注意：若該異議是在10月 8 日或之後才轉介的，就不要額外加日數，照系統預設處理即可。
3. 聯邦承包商 & 合約影響
👉 在系統不可用期間，承包商無法依 E-Verify 承包商規則進行註冊或操作。
👉 那些因不可用日數錯過 deadline 的日子，不會計入合約義務期限。
4. I-9 表格責任依舊有效
👉 即使 E-Verify 暫停，Form I-9 的核驗義務不能停止（Section 1 要填、Section 2 要照規定完成）
👉 補案時遲交會被系統要求選理由，在“Other”填寫系統停擺原因即可
💡 企業快速行動清單
✔ 立刻確認你公司參與 E-Verify，並查清在系統停擺期間入職的員工名單
✔ 補建立那段期間的 E-Verify 案件（使用正確入職日期與延遲理由）
✔ 對有身分不符的 case，給員工新的聯絡截止日、重新發通知
✔ 聯邦承包商注意合約條款／申請期限調整
✔ 全程保存所有操作的紀錄與備註，這將是審核與未來風控的關鍵

E-Verify is Back Online: Essential Guidance for Global Employers and HR Teams
We know the ongoing government shutdown has created uncertainty. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a crucial update: the E-Verify system is now operational!
Here are the key takeaways and step-by-step instructions from the latest DHS/USCIS guidance for employers who participate in E-Verify:
📌 Key Takeaways for Employers
1. E-Verify is Operational — Case Creation is Mandatory
👉System Status: DHS confirms the E-Verify application has resumed its online functionality.
👉Mandatory Backdating: For employees hired during the system's unavailability, all participating employers must create an E-Verify case by Tuesday, October 14.
👉Use I-9 Date: When creating these backlogged cases, you must use the employee’s hire date from Form I-9 as the date of hire in E-Verify.
👉Delay Reason: If you were unable to create a case within the mandatory three business days due to the system outage, select “Other” from the “Select a Reason for Delay” drop-down menu. In the text box, enter “E-Verify not available.” The days the system was unavailable will not count against the three-business-day limit.
2. Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC / Mismatch) Adjustments
If an employee received a TNC and notifies you of their intention to contest it, you must provide a revised Referral Date Confirmation (updated deadline for contacting SSA/DHS). You have three options for providing this new date:
👉Print New Notice: Print a new “Referral Date Confirmation” notice directly from E-Verify; it will show the correct, new deadline.
👉Handwrite Update: Log into E-Verify to find the new referral date, and manually write the new date onto the previously issued notice.
👉Add Days: Add six (6) federal business days to the original deadline written on the employee’s “Referral Date Confirmation” notice, and write in the new date. (Federal business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.)
Important Note: If the TNC was referred after E-Verify resumed operations (on or after October 8, 2025), do not add extra days. Follow the standard system process.
3. Impact on Federal Contractors
👉Enrollment/Usage: Federal contractors acknowledge that they could not enroll or use E-Verify during the unavailability period, as required by the E-Verify federal contractor rule.
👉Deadline Relief: Any calendar day when E-Verify was unavailable will not count toward any of the federal contractor deadlines. Contractors should contact their contracting officer for guidance on their specific contractual obligations.
4. Remember Your I-9 Form Obligations Remain!
👉I-9 Continuity: Even when E-Verify was paused, the obligation to complete Form I-9 did not stop. Ensure Section 1 was filled out and Section 2 was completed according to the standard regulations.
👉Compliance Record: Be sure to follow the above guidance regarding delay reasons, using “Other” and noting “E-Verify not available,” to maintain a clear record for compliance audits.
💡 Quick Employer Action Checklist
✅ Identify: Immediately confirm your company’s E-Verify status and identify all employees hired during the system outage.
✅ Backfill: Create the backlogged E-Verify cases now, using the correct I-9 hire date and the specified reason for delay.
✅ TNC Notices: For any contesting TNC cases, issue a new or updated Referral Date Confirmation with the extended deadline.
✅ Contractors: Federal contractors must review and adjust contract deadlines and documentation.
✅ Documentation: Crucially, maintain thorough records and notes for all actions taken during this period. This documentation is key for future audits and risk mitigation.
