Note to Employees 

For general questions about the 

employment eligibility verification 

process, employees may call USCIS at 

888–897–7781 (TTY 877–875–6028) or 

email USCIS at I–9Central@dhs.gov. 

Calls are accepted in English, Spanish, 

and many other languages. Employees 

or applicants may also call the IER 

Worker Hotline at 800–255–7688 (TTY 

800–237–2515) for information 

regarding employment discrimination 

based upon citizenship, immigration 

status, or national origin, including 

discrimination related to Employment 

Eligibility Verification (Form I–9) and EVerify. The IER Worker Hotline 

provides language interpretation in 

numerous languages. 

To comply with the law, employers 

must accept any document or 

combination of documents from the 

Lists of Acceptable Documents if the 

documentation reasonably appears to be 

genuine and to relate to the employee, 

or an acceptable List A, List B, or List 

C receipt as described in the 

Employment Eligibility Verification 

(Form I–9) Instructions. Employers may 

not require extra or additional 

documentation beyond what is required 

for Form I–9 completion. Further, 

employers participating in E-Verify who 

receive an E-Verify case result of 

‘‘Tentative Nonconfirmation’’ (TNC) 

must promptly inform employees of the 

TNC and give such employees an 

opportunity to contest the TNC. A TNC 

case result means that the information 

entered into E-Verify from an 

employee’s Form I–9 differs from 

Federal or state government records. 

Employers may not terminate, 

suspend, delay training, withhold pay, 

lower pay, or take any adverse action 

against an employee because of the TNC 

while the case is still pending with EVerify. A Final Nonconfirmation (FNC) 

case result is received when E-Verify 

cannot verify an employee’s 

employment eligibility. An employer 

may terminate employment based on a 

case result of FNC. Work-authorized 

employees who receive an FNC may call 

USCIS for assistance at 888–897–7781 

(TTY 877–875–6028). For more 

information about E-Verify-related 

discrimination or to report an employer 

for discrimination in the E-Verify 

process based on citizenship, 

immigration status, or national origin, 

contact IER’s Worker Hotline at 800– 

255–7688 (TTY 800–237–2515). 

Additional information about proper 

nondiscriminatory Form I–9 and EVerify procedures is available on the 

IER website at https://www.justice.gov/ 

ier and the USCIS website at http://

www.dhs.gov/E-verify. 

Note Regarding Federal, State, and 

Local Government Agencies (Such as 

Departments of Motor Vehicles) 

While Federal Government agencies 

must follow the guidelines laid out by 

the Federal Government, state and local 

government agencies establish their own 

rules and guidelines when granting 

certain benefits. Each state may have 

different laws, requirements, and 

determinations about what documents 

you need to provide to prove eligibility 

for certain benefits. Whether you are 

applying for a Federal, state, or local 

government benefit, you may need to 

provide the government agency with 

documents that show you are a TPS 

beneficiary and/or show you are 

authorized to work based on TPS. 

Examples of such documents are: 

(1) Your current EAD; 

(2) A copy of your Notice of Action 

(Form I–797C), the notice of receipt, for 

your application to renew your current 

EAD providing an automatic extension 

of your currently expired or expiring 

EAD; 

(3) A copy of your Notice of Action 

(Form I–797C), the notice of receipt, for 

your Application for Temporary 

Protected Status for this re-registration; 

and 

(4) A copy of your Notice of Action 

(Form I–797), the notice of approval, for 

a past or current Application for 

Temporary Protected Status, if you 

received one from USCIS. Check with 

the government agency regarding which 

document(s) the agency will accept. 

Some benefit-granting agencies use the 

USCIS Systematic Alien Verification for 

Entitlements (SAVE) program to confirm 

the current immigration status of 

applicants for public benefits. In most 

cases, SAVE provides an automated 

electronic response to benefit-granting 

agencies within seconds, but, 

occasionally, verification can be 

delayed. You can check the status of 

your SAVE verification by using 

CaseCheck at the following link: https:// 

save.uscis.gov/casecheck/, then by 

clicking the ‘‘Check Your Case’’ button. 

CaseCheck is a free service that lets you 

follow the progress of your SAVE 

verification using your date of birth and 

one immigration identifier number. If an 

agency has denied your application 

based solely or in part on a SAVE 

response, the agency must offer you the 

opportunity to appeal the decision in 

accordance with the agency’s 

procedures. If the agency has received 

and acted upon or will act upon a SAVE 

verification and you do not believe the 

response is correct, you may make an 

InfoPass appointment for an in-person 

interview at a local USCIS office. 

Detailed information on how to make 

corrections, make an appointment, or 

submit a written request to correct 

records under the Freedom of 

Information Act can be found on the 

SAVE website at http://www.uscis.gov/
