Self Check System of Records 

AGENCY: Privacy Office, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of 

Homeland Security proposes to 

establish a new Department of 

Homeland Security system of records 

titled, ‘‘Department of Homeland 

Security/United States Citizenship and 

Immigration Services—SORN DHS/ 

USCIS—013 E-Verify Self Check System 

of Records.’’ The U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services E-Verify Self 

Check is voluntary and available to any 

individual who wants to check his own 

work authorization status prior to 

employment and facilitate correction of 

potential errors in federal databases that 

provide inputs into the E-Verify process. 

When an individual uses E-Verify Self 

Check, he will be notified either that 1. 

his information matched the 

information contained in federal 

databases and he would be deemed 

work-authorized, or 2. his information 

was not matched to information 

contained in federal databases which 

would be considered a ‘‘mismatch.’’ If 

the information was a mismatch, he will 

be given instructions on where and how 

to correct his record(s). This newly 

established system will be included in 

the Department of Homeland Security’s 

inventory of record systems. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

March 18, 2011. This new system will 

be effective March 18, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) United States 

Citizenship and Immigration Services 

(USCIS) proposes to establish a new 

DHS system of records titled, ‘‘DHS/ 

USCIS—013 E-Verify Self Check System 

of Records.’’ 

E-Verify was mandated by the Illegal 

Immigration Reform and Immigrant 

Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), 

Public Law (Pub. L.) 104–208, 

September 30, 1996. The E-Verify 

Program is a free and mostly voluntary 

DHS program implemented by the 

USCIS Verification Division and 

operated in collaboration with the 

Social Security Administration (SSA) to 

determine work authorization. It 

compares information provided by 

employees on the Employment 

Eligibility Verification, Form I–9, 

against information in SSA, DHS, and 

Department of State (DoS) databases in 

order to verify an employee’s work 

authorization. Section 404(d) requires 

that the system be designed and 

operated to maximize the reliability and 

ease of use. Therefore, DHS has 

developed E-Verify Self Check. 

USCIS developed E-Verify Self Check 

to enable an individual to check his 

work authorization status prior to 

employment and facilitate correction of 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 16, 2011 / Notices 9035 

potential errors in federal databases that 

provide inputs into the E-Verify process. 

Through the E-Verify Self Check secure 

web portal, an individual will be able to 

check his work authorization status by 

first providing information to 

authenticate his identity, and 

subsequently providing work 

authorization information based in part 

on information normally provided on 

Form I–9 employment documentation. 

Prior to E-Verify Self Check, only 

employers could verify work 

authorization for newly hired 

employees. With the introduction of EVerify Self Check, upon successful 

identity authentication, an individual 

will be able to query E-Verify directly. 

If the information provided by the 

individual matches the information 

contained in federal databases (SSA, 

DHS, DoS) a result of ‘‘work 

authorization confirmed’’ is displayed to 

the individual. If the information was a 

mismatch, E-Verify Self Check will 

provide the individual a result of 

‘‘Possible mismatch with SSA’’ or 

‘‘Possible mismatch with Immigration 

Information.’’ E-Verify Self Check will 

also provide the individual instructions 

on how to request correction of these 

potential errors in records contained in 

these federal databases should the 

individual choose to do so prior to any 

formal, employer run E-Verify query 

process. In rare cases, an individual may 

still receive a potential mismatch during 

a normal E-Verify query because the 

record cannot be changed. The 

individual is not required to correct the 

record mismatches that were identified 

by E-Verify Self Check. 

E-Verify Self Check Process Details 

E-Verify Self Check involves a twostep process: (1) Identity authentication 

of the individual; and (2) an E-Verify 

query to confirm the individual’s 

current work authorization status. The 

first step, identity authentication, 

utilizes a third party Identity Proofing 

(IdP) service to generate knowledgebased questions based on commercial 

identity verification information, 

collected by third party companies from 

financial institutions, public records, 

and other service providers. The 

information accessed by the IdP may 

include information, such as the 

individual’s commercial transaction 

history, mortgage payments, or past 

addresses. An individual must correctly 

answer these knowledge-based 

questions generated by the IdP in order 

to authenticate his identity and enable 

him to use E-Verify Self Check. In order 

to generate these knowledge-based 

questions, the IdP service collects basic 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

from the individual including name, 

address of residence, date of birth, and 

optionally the individual’s Social 

Security number (SSN). Each individual 

will be asked a minimum of two and a 

maximum of four knowledge-based 

questions. If there is not enough 

commercial identity verification 

information from financial institutions, 

public records, and other service 

providers to generate two questions, the 

individual’s identity cannot be 

authenticated and he will not be able to 

continue through E-Verify Self Check. 

The fact that an individual was unable 

to use the IdP service will be sent to EVerify, but no other information. The 

IdP will send a transaction number, the 

fact that knowledge based questions 

could not be generated and the date and 

time of the transaction, so that USCIS 

may keep a statistic of how many 

individuals are unable to use the IdP. 

If there is sufficient information to 

generate two to four questions, the IdP 

will evaluate the answers to the 

questions and return a pass/fail 

indicator to USCIS. If the individual 

does not successfully answer the 

questions generated by the IdP, he will 

not be authenticated and he will not be 

able to continue through E-Verify Self 

Check. Neither the questions asked by 

the IdP service nor the answers 

provided by the individual are retained 

by the IdP. The IdP will send a 

transaction number, the reason for 

failure, the date and time of the 

transaction, and an error code to EVerify, to facilitate troubleshooting and 

system management and improvement 

so that USCIS may keep statistics of 

how many individuals are unable to use 

the IdP and therefore Self Check. All PII 

entered by the individual during the IdP 

session and any questions that might 

have been generated by the IdP are 

deleted at the end of the session. 

Nothing is stored or retained in E-Verify 

Self Check. This information cannot be 

linked back to the individual. 

If the individual is able to answer the 

questions; his identity is authenticated, 

a pass indicator is returned to E-Verify, 

and the individual will continue 

through E-Verify Self Check. E-Verify 

will receive a pass indication and the 

name, date of birth, and SSN (if 

provided) will be provided back to EVerify. Residence address will not be 

passed to E-Verify. 

When there are multiple attempts to 

authenticate an individual, which 

indicates possible fraud, the DHS 

contract authorizes the IdP to notify the 

provider of the information of potential 

fraud and to terminate access to E-Verify 

Self Check. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) 

requires the IdP to retain the fact of an 

inquiry. The IdP maintains the time/ 

date stamp and inquiry type (credit 

check, identity check, etc.) so that the 

inquiry is noted in the individual’s 

credit record and can be audited at a 

later date. The E-Verify Self Check 

inquiry is an identity check, and 

therefore will not affect an individual’s 

credit score. These types of inquiries are 

not shown to third parties who may 

request copies of credit reports. 

Under FCRA, an individual has the 

right to know who has reviewed his 

credit report and the individual can 

place a fraud alert on his credit file. If 

an individual has placed a fraud alert on 

his credit file, the individual will not be 

able to authenticate for E-Verify Self 

Check purposes. 

Upon identity authentication, the 

individual moves to step 2: an E-Verify 

query to identify current work 

authorization status. The IdP passes the 

name, date of birth and SSN (if 

provided). In order to ensure that the 

information belongs to the individual 

who originally passed the identity 

authentication step, these data elements 

cannot be altered. The individual will 

be required to enter additional 

information based on the 

documentation he would present to an 

employer for the Form I–9 process. The 

additional information collected from 

an individual depends on his 

citizenship status and the document 

chosen to present for work 

authorization. This could include: 

citizenship status; Alien Number (if 

non-citizen); passport number; Form I– 

94 number; and/or lawful permanent 

resident card or work authorization 

document (EAD) number. This 

represents the same information that is 

collected for the Form I–9 process and 

the basic E-Verify query. 

E-Verify Self Check will query EVerify through a web service connection 

and will present either an indication 

that an individual’s information 

matched government records and that EVerify would have found the individual 

work-authorized or that the information 

is a possible mismatch to government 

records. If the individual receives a 

‘‘possible mismatch with SSA/ 

Immigration Information’’ response, EVerify Self Check will provide guidance 

on how to correct potential errors in the 

records. The individual will be asked 

whether they would like to resolve the 

mismatch or not. If the individual 

chooses not to resolve the mismatch, EVerify will close the case. If the 

individual chooses to resolve the SSA 

mismatch, a form will be generated that 

contains the individual’s first and last 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

9036 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 32 / Wednesday, February 16, 2011 / Notices 

name, the date and time of the E-Verify 

query, the E-Verify case number, and 

detailed instructions on how to resolve 

the mismatch. If the individual decides 

to resolve an Immigration Information 

mismatch, E-Verify Self Check provides 

instructions to contact E-Verify 

Customer Contact Office (CCO) to assist 

in the correction of immigration records 

72 hours after the initial query to speak 

with a status verification representative. 

If the representative is unable to correct 

the record, the individual will be 

advised of actions necessary to correct 

the error. 

The main benefit of E-Verify Self 

Check is to facilitate the identification 

and correction of potential errors in 

federal databases that provide inputs 

into the E-Verify system thereby 

improving the E-Verify process for both 

the employee and the employer. Prior to 

the introduction of E-Verify Self Check, 

an individual did not have the ability to 

identify potential issues associated with 

his work authorization status until after 

receiving adverse notification from 

employers. E-Verify Self Check provides 

a vehicle for an individual to 

proactively check work authorization 

status prior to the employer conducting 

the E-Verify inquiry. 

There may be instances when an 

individual is unable to authenticate his 

identity using the IdP service. For 

example, the IdP may not be able to 

generate knowledge-based questions if 

sufficient data pertaining to him cannot 

be located or if he has placed a lock or 

alert on his information. In addition, an 

individual may not receive a passing 

score because the IdP information 

maintained is incorrect. If someone is 

unable to authenticate through the IdP 

but still wants to determine work 

authorization status prior to hire, USCIS 

will provide information on how to visit 

an SSA field office, access Social 

Security yearly statements, call USCIS, 

or submit a Freedom of Information Act/ 

Privacy Act request to access work 

authorization records. The individual 

will also be advised to check the 

information at the various credit 

bureaus and through a free credit check 

site. 

This newly established system will be 

included in DHS’s inventory of record 

systems. 

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information practice principles in a 

statutory framework governing the 

means by which the U.S. Government 

collects, maintains, uses, and 

disseminates individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to information that 

is maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ 

A ‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any 

records under the control of an agency 

for which information is retrieved by 

the name of an individual or by some 

identifying number, symbol, or other 

identifying particular assigned to the 

individual. In the Privacy Act, an 

individual is defined to encompass U.S. 

citizens and lawful permanent 

residents. As a matter of policy, DHS 

extends administrative Privacy Act 

protections to all individuals where 

systems of records maintain information 

on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent 

residents, and visitors. 

Below is the description of the DHS/ 

USCIS—013 E-Verify Self Check System 

of Records. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), 

DHS has provided a report of this 

system of records to the Office of 

Management and Budget and to 

Congress. 

SYSTEM OF RECORDS: 

DHS/USCIS—013 E-Verify Self Check. 

SYSTEM NAME: 

DHS/USCIS—013 E-Verify Self Check. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified, sensitive. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

Records are maintained at the USCIS 

Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and 

field offices. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Individuals seeking to check 

employment eligibility under the 

Immigration and Naturalization Act 

(INA). This includes U.S. citizens as 

well as non-U.S. citizens. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

E-Verify Self Check is a two-step 

process: (1) identity authentication and 

(2) confirmation of work authorization 

status. The first step of the process is the 

identity authentication. E-Verify Self 

Check will use a third party commercial 

identity assurance service provider (IdP) 

using commercial identity verification 

information, collected by third-party 

companies from financial institutions, 

public records, and other service 

providers to verify an individual’s 

identity. The IdP will collect 

information about the individual who 

has elected to use E-Verify Self Check. 

The IdP will collect the following 

information from all individuals in 

order to generate the questions: 

• Name (last, first, middle initial, and 

maiden); 

• Date of birth; 

• Address of Residence; and 

• SSN(if provided). 

The questions asked by the IdP and 

the answers provided by the individual 

are not provided to USCIS. If an 

individual fails the identity 

authentication portion of E-Verify Self 

Check and therefore is unable to 

proceed to an actual query in E-Verify, 

none of the information listed above is 

provided to or retained by E-Verify Self 

Check. Only the transaction number, the 

reason for failure, the date and time of 

the transaction, and error code are 

retained by the IdP to facilitate 

troubleshooting and system 

management. 

In the individual passes identity 

authentication, he will be redirected to 

the DHS/USCIS E-Verify Self Check 

screen to begin the E-Verify Self Check. 

The individual’s name, date of birth, 

and SSN (if provided) that were entered 

during identity authentication is 

automatically pre-populated in E-Verify 

Self Check (E-Verify will not receive the 

address of residence). This information 

will be unchangeable to ensure that the 

information represents the individual 

whose identity has been authenticated. 

To begin the E-Verify Self Check 

process, the individual will be asked for 

additional information. This 

information will be based the on 

individual’s citizenship status and the 

document chosen to prove work 

authorization. Documents chosen could 

include: 

• SSN (if not previously provided); 

• Document(s) type, associated 

number, and associated expiration date 

that demonstrates work authorization. 

These may include U.S. Passport, 

employment authorization document, I– 

495 Lawful Permanent resident card, or 

other documents and associated 

numbers as listed as acceptable Form I– 

9 verification documents. 

This process is the same process as 

the basic E-Verify query and is 

described in the E-Verify PIA, dated 

May 4, 2010, and System of Records 

Notice dated May 19, 2010, 75 FR 

28035. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

The Illegal Immigration Reform and 

Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 

(IIRIRA), Public Law 104–208, dated 

September 30, 1996. 

PURPOSE(S): 

An individual will use E-Verify Self 

Check to determine work authorization 

status. E-Verify Self Check contracts 

with an IdP in order to provide identity 

authentication.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a 

portion of the records or information 

contained in this system may be 

disclosed outside DHS as a routine use 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as 

follows: 

A. To the Department of Justice (DOJ), 

including U.S. Attorney Offices, or other 

federal agency conducting litigation or 

in proceedings before any court, 

adjudicative or administrative body, 

when it is necessary to the litigation and 

one of the following is a party to the 

litigation or has an interest in such 

litigation: 

1. DHS or any component thereof; 

2. Any employee of DHS in his/her 

official capacity; 

3. Any employee of DHS in his/her 

individual capacity where DOJ or DHS 

has agreed to represent the employee; or 

4. The U.S. or any agency thereof, is 

a party to the litigation or has an interest 

in such litigation, and DHS determines 

that the records are both relevant and 

necessary to the litigation and the use of 

such records is compatible with the 

purpose for which DHS collected the 

records. 

B. To a congressional office from the 

record of an individual in response to 

an inquiry from that congressional office 

made at the request of the individual to 

whom the record pertains. 

C. To the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) or 

other federal government agencies 

pursuant to records management 

inspections being conducted under the 

authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906. 

D. To an agency, organization, or 

individual for the purpose of performing 

audit or oversight operations as 

authorized by law, but only such 

information as is necessary and relevant 

to such audit or oversight function. 

E. To appropriate agencies, entities, 

and persons when: 

1. DHS suspects or has confirmed that 

the security or confidentiality of 

information in the system of records has 

been compromised; 

2. DHS has determined that as a result 

of the suspected or confirmed 

compromise there is a risk of harm to 

economic or property interests, identity 

theft or fraud, or harm to the security or 

integrity of this system or other systems 

or programs (whether maintained by 

DHS or another agency or entity) or 

harm to the individual that rely upon 

the compromised information; and 

3. The disclosure made to such 

agencies, entities, and persons is 

reasonably necessary to assist in 

connection with DHS’s efforts to 

respond to the suspected or confirmed 

compromise and prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

F. To contractors and their agents, 

grantees, experts, consultants, and 

others performing or working on a 

contract, service, grant, cooperative 

agreement, or other assignment for DHS, 

when necessary to accomplish an 

agency function related to this system of 

records. Individuals provided 

information under this routine use are 

subject to the same Privacy Act 

requirements and limitations on 

disclosure as are applicable to DHS 

officers and employees. 

G. To an appropriate federal, state, 

tribal, local, international, or foreign law 

enforcement agency or other appropriate 

authority charged with investigating or 

prosecuting a violation or enforcing or 

implementing a law, rule, regulation, or 

order, where a record, either on its face 

or in conjunction with other 

information, indicates a violation or 

potential violation of the E-Verify 

Program, which includes possible fraud, 

discrimination, or employment based 

identity theft and such disclosure is 

proper and consistent with the official 

duties of the person making the 

disclosure. 

H. To an individual utilizing E-Verify 

Self Check in order to determine his 

own work authorization in the United 

States. 

I. To a third party commercial identity 

assurance provider (IdP) under contract 

with the Department, but only the name, 

date of birth, address of residence, and 

Social Security number (if provided), for 

the purposes of authenticating an 

individual who is seeking to access the 

USCIS E-Verify Self Check for 

employment eligibility. 

When there are multiple attempts to 

authenticate an individual, which 

indicates possible fraud, the DHS 

contract authorizes the IdP to notify the 

provider of the information of potential 

fraud and to terminate access to E-Verify 

Self Check. The IdP will share the fact 

of the inquiry with the appropriate 

credit bureau and monitor for potential 

fraudulent access in accordance with 

the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). 

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING

AGENCIES: 

DHS is using the services of a third 

party IdP to authenticate an individual’s 

identity. The third party IdP uses 

commercial identity verification 

information which is collected by third 

party companies from financial 

institutions, public records, and other 

service providers to create the 

knowledge-based questions used to 

authenticate identity. This information 

does not belong to DHS nor will 

information from other sources relied 

upon by the third party provider be 

collected and/or retained by DHS. FCRA 

requires the IdP to retain the fact of an 

inquiry. The IdP will maintain time/ 

date stamp and inquiry type (credit 

check, identity check, etc.) so that the 

inquiry is noted in the individual’s 

credit record and can be audited at a 

later date. The E-Verify Self Check 

inquiry is an identity check, and 

therefore will not affect an individual’s 

credit score. These types of inquiries are 

not shown to third parties who may 

request copies of credit reports. Under 

FCRA, an individual has the right to 

know who has reviewed his credit 

report and the individual can place a 

fraud alert on his credit file. If an 

individual has placed a fraud alert on 

his credit file, the individual will not be 

able to authenticate for E-Verify Self 

Check purposes. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, 

RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

Records in this system are stored 

electronically, on magnetic disc, tape, 

digital media, and CD–ROM. All 

personal information entered by the 

individual as part of the IdP process and 

any questions that might have been 

generated by the third party data IdP are 

deleted at the end of the session. 

Nothing is stored or retained in E-Verify 

Self Check. Only the transaction 

number, the reason for failure, the date 

and time of the transaction, and error 

code are retained to facilitate 

troubleshooting and system 

management. Because the IdP accesses 

an individual’s credit history to perform 

the authentication, it will retain audits 

of the individual’s E-Verify Self Check 

inquiry to comply with legal 

obligations, specifically, the FCRA. The 

FCRA requires that an inquiry be noted 

in the individual’s credit record. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Records related to the IdP portion of 

the program can be retrieved by the 

following fields: 

• E-Verify Self Check unique 

transaction ID; 

• IdP Unique Transaction ID; 

• E-Verify Self Check transaction 

time/date stamp; 

• Failure of the IDP transaction; and 

• Reason for Failure (i.e., could not 

generate questions/answered 

incorrectly/system error) 

For the actual E-Verify Self Check 

query, the information will be retrieved

meaning that you must provide your full 

name, current address and date and 

place of birth. You must sign your 

request, and your signature must either 

be notarized or submitted under 28 

U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits 

statements to be made under penalty of 

perjury as a substitute for notarization. 

While no specific form is required, you 

may obtain forms for this purpose from 

the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief 

Freedom of Information Act Officer,

• Identify which component(s) of the 

Department you believe may have the 

information about you; 

• Specify when you believe the 

records would have been created; 

• Provide any other information that

have responsive records; and 

• If your request is seeking records 

pertaining to another living individual, 

you must include a statement from that 

individual certifying his/her agreement 

for you to access his/her records. 

Without this bulleted information the

specificity or lack of compliance with 

applicable regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

February 3, 2011, the President issued 

an emergency declaration under the 

authority of the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121–5207 

(the Stafford Act), as follows: 

I have determined that the emergency 

conditions in the State of Missouri resulting 

from a severe winter storm beginning on 

January 31, 2011, and continuing, are of 

sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant 

an emergency declaration under the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (‘‘the 

Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such 

an emergency exists in the State of Missouri. 

You are authorized to provide appropriate 

assistance for required emergency measures, 

authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, 

to save lives and to protect property and 

public health and safety, and to lessen or 

avert the threat of a catastrophe in the 

designated areas. Specifically, you are 

authorized to provide assistance for 

emergency protective measures (Category B), 

limited to direct Federal assistance, under 

the Public Assistance program. This 

assistance excludes regular time costs for 

subgrantees’ regular employees. 

Consistent with the requirement that 

Federal assistance is supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford 

Act for Public Assistance will be limited to 

75 percent of the total eligible costs. In order 

to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby 

authorized to allocate from funds available 

for these purposes such amounts as you find 

necessary for Federal emergency assistance 

and administrative expenses. 

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved 

assistance to the extent allowable under the 

Stafford Act.
