Social Security Administration (SSA) Resumes E-Verify Operations

Social Security Administration (SSA) announced on July 15, 2022, that it will be resuming E-Verify operations, and employee E-Verify cases referred to SSA on or after July 15, 2022 will have the normal 8 federal working days to contact the local SSA office to begin resolving the mismatch. E-Verify cases referred on or after July 15, 2022 will no longer provide extended timeframes for employees to visit SSA to resolve these mismatches. E-Verify cases referred between March 2, 2020, to July 14, 2022, with a SSA mismatch will still have an extended timeframe to be resolved.

SSA reminds employers that “Cases must be referred in E-Verify within 10 federal government working days after the issuance of the mismatch. Employees with any mismatch referred on or after July 15, 2022, must take action to resolve it within 8 federal working days after the case is referred. Employees with an SSA mismatch referred between March 2, 2020, to July 14, 2022, have until September 29, 2023, to resolve it.”
