Once registered, participating\n employers can electronically verify employee information taken from the Employment\n Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) against about 455 million records in SSA's Numident 2\n and more than 80 million records in DHS' immigration databases to verify the\n employment eligibility of both citizen and non-citizen new hires.\n\n The E-Verify program will provide one of the following responses stating that\n employment eligibility is authorized or employment eligibility is given tentative\n nonconfirmation (TNC).\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 Employment Authorized\xe2\x80\x94The data input by the employer matched the information in\n SSA\xe2\x80\x99s and DHS\xe2\x80\x99 databases, and the new hire is authorized to work in the United\n States.\n\n 1\n Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A, of the Illegal Immigration Reform and\n Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-208, as amended (8 U.S.C. \xc2\xa7 1324a note).\n 2\n The Numident is a record of identifying information (such as name, date of birth [DoB], date of death,\n mother\xe2\x80\x99s maiden name, etc.) provided by the applicant on his or her Application for a Social Security\n Number (Form SS-5) for an original Social Security number (SSN) and subsequent applications for\n replacement SSN cards. Each record is housed in the Numident master file.\n\x0cPage 2 - The Commissioner\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 SSA TNC\xe2\x80\x94The data input by the employer did not match information in SSA\xe2\x80\x99s\n Numident. If the employee chooses to contest, he or she has 8 Federal workdays to\n visit a local SSA field office to present documentation required to update or correct\n the Numident record.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 DHS TNC\xe2\x80\x94The data input by the employer for a noncitizen did not match the\n information in DHS\xe2\x80\x99 immigration records and/or the DHS record shows the new hire\n is not authorized to work. If the employee chooses to contest, he or she has\n 8 Federal workdays to contact DHS. 3\n\nMemorandum of Understanding\n\nParticipating employers must sign an E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)\nthat sets forth the points of agreement between DHS, SSA, and the employer regarding\nthe employer's participation in the E-Verify program. In addition, the MoU explains\ncertain features of the E-Verify program and explains the specific responsibilities of\nDHS, SSA, and the employer. Included under the employer responsibilities are the\nfollowing requirements.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 The employer agrees to initiate E-Verify procedures for new hires within 3 employer\n business days after each employee has been hired (but after both sections 1 and\n 2 of the Form I-9 have been completed)4 and to complete as many steps of the\n E-Verify process as are necessary according to the E-Verify User Manual. The\n employer is prohibited from initiating verification procedures before the employee\n has been hired and before the Form I-9 has been completed.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 The employer agrees not to use E-Verify for pre-employment screening of\n applicants, in support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use not\n authorized by the MoU. Employers must use E-Verify for all new hires, unless an\n employer is a Federal contractor that qualifies for certain exceptions set forth in the\n MoU. 5\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 The employer will not verify selectively and will not verify employees hired before the\n effective date of the MoU. The employer understands that if the employer uses\n E-Verify procedures for any purpose other than as authorized by the MoU, the\n employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its access to\n E-Verify pursuant to the MoU.\n\n\n\n3\n For a detailed description of the E-Verify program and some of its new enhancements, see Appendix B.\n4\n See Appendix D for a copy of the Form I-9.\n5\n As of September 8, 2009, Federal contractors were required to use E-Verify to confirm that employees\nassigned to Federal contracts are allowed to work legally in the United States. Executive Order 13465\xe2\x80\x94\nAmending Executive Order 12989, as amended, June 2008, 73 FR 33285.\n\x0cPage 3 - The Commissioner\n\nOffice of Management and Budget\n\nIn August 2007, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandated that all\nFederal agencies and departments begin verifying their new hires through E-Verify\nstarting no later than October 1, 2007. 6 According to OMB, the Government has an\nopportunity to lead by example by using E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility of\nits workers. Further, E-Verify not only helps U.S. employers maintain a legal workforce\nand protect jobs for authorized U.S. workers, it improves the accuracy of wage and tax\nreporting. To comply with the OMB requirement, SSA registered to use E-Verify\nbeginning in September 2007. As of April 2009, SSA had 172 registered users in SSA\nHeadquarters and its 10 regional offices.\n\nSCOPE AND METHODOLOGY\nSSA\xe2\x80\x99s Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) 7 showed that for\nFiscal Year (FY) 2008 through March 31, 2009, SSA hired 9,311 new employees. To\ndetermine whether SSA verified the employment eligibility of these new hires, we\nobtained the E-Verify transactions SSA submitted from October 1, 2007 to\nApril 30, 2009. See Appendix C for more details about our scope and methodology.\n\nRESULTS OF REVIEW\n\nSSA did not always use the E-Verify program as intended. Specifically, we found that of\nthe 9,311 new employees hired in FYs 2008 and 2009,\n\n Figure 1: Verification of \xe2\x80\xa2 E-Verify was not used to confirm\n SSA New Hires the employment eligibility of\n 1,767 (19 percent) new hires;\n 44 of these new hires would have\n Verified\n received an SSA TNC response\n 81% or been referred to DHS had SSA\n verified them through E-Verify,\n and\n Not\n Verified \xe2\x80\xa2 E-Verify was used to confirm the\n 19% employment eligibility of\n 7,544 (81 percent) new hires.\n\n\n\n\n6\n OMB Memorandum M-07-21, Verifying the Employment Eligibility of Federal Employees,\nAugust 10, 2007.\n7\n HRMIS is an electronic personnel database that contains information regarding SSA employees and\ntheir employment history. It contains information on employees, positions, training, and awards.\n\x0cPage 4 - The Commissioner\n\nIn addition, we determined that SSA did not always comply with the requirements of the\nE-Verify MoU. Specifically, we found that SSA had verified the employment eligibility of\n26 existing employees because they had applied for new positions in the Agency. In\naddition, SSA erroneously verified the employment eligibility of 31 volunteers who were\nnot considered Federal employees for any purpose. Furthermore, we found SSA had\nverified the employment eligibility of at least 18 external candidates who had applied for\njobs at SSA but were not hired. Thus, it appeared the Agency used E-Verify procedures\nfor verifying these individuals prior to their hire date, which is prohibited.\n\nFinally, while SSA verified the employment eligibility of 7,544 new hires, we found that\nabout 3,658 (49 percent) did not appear to be verified timely. The E-Verify MoU\nrequires that employers verify new hires within 3 business days from their date of hire.\nIn analyzing the timeliness of the verifications, we used 7 calendar days (5 business\ndays) as a benchmark to account for the mailing of the Form I-9. Based on the\n7 calendars days, we determined that 25 percent of the new hires was verified from 1 to\n202 days before the date of hire, 8 and 24 percent was verified from 8 to 522 days after\nthe date of hire (see Table 1 below).\n\n Table 1: Number of Days Verified Through E-Verify Program\n Number of\n Range of Days Verified Records Percent\n Verified Before Hire Date\n 31 to 202 84 1\n 9 to 30 1,050 14\n 1 to 8 740 10\n Total 1,874 25\n Verified on Time\n 0 to 7 3,886 51\n Verified After Hire Date\n 8 to 30 1,308 17\n 31 to 100 361 5\n 101 to 522 115 2\n Total 1,784 24\n Grand Total 7,544 100\n\nNEW HIRES VERIFIED USING E-VERIFY\n\nOf the 9,311 employees hired in FYs 2008 and 2009, our review of E-Verify records\nshowed SSA verified the employment eligibility of 7,544 (81 percent). The E-Verify\nprogram provided an immediate \xe2\x80\x9cemployment authorized\xe2\x80\x9d response for 7,537 of the\n7,544 new hires, indicating they were authorized to work in the United States. SSA\ninitially received an SSA TNC response for the remaining seven new hires because the\ninformation entered by the employer did not match SSA\xe2\x80\x99s Numident. We determined\nthat five of the seven new hires had a name change but failed to notify SSA. As of\n8\n To assess the timeliness of the verifications, we used the employee\xe2\x80\x99s date of entry because this was the\nfirst day that SSA staff would have reviewed and completed the Form I-9.\n\x0cPage 5 - The Commissioner\n\nJune 2009, the five new hires had resolved their SSA TNCs. One new hire received an\nSSA TNC response because it appeared the Numident record included an incorrect\nspelling of her last name. As of June 2009, the Numident had not been updated, and\nthe SSA TNC had not been resolved. Finally, one new hire received an SSA TNC\nbecause her citizenship status showed she was not eligible to work. According to SSA\nstaff, this individual failed to provide the proper work authorization documentation and\nwas terminated in June 2008.\n\nNEW HIRES NOT VERIFIED USING E-VERIFY\n\nSSA did not use E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility for 1,767 (19 percent) of\nthe 9,311 new hires. 9 According to the E-Verify MoU, an employer must use E-Verify\nfor all new hires and should not verify selectively. Among the 1,767 new hires, were\n1,172 new hires who did not have prior Federal employment, 541 new hires who\npreviously worked for the Government, and 54 new hires who transferred from other\nFederal agencies with no break in Federal employment. According to SSA staff,\ntransferees who have no break in Federal employment are not required to be verified\nthrough E-Verify. SSA relies on the former agency\xe2\x80\x99s favorable suitability determination\nfor transferees to determine their eligibility to work, which is permitted in Executive\nOrder 13488. 10 According to SSA staff, the reciprocal recognition for transferees can\neliminate the need for SSA to use E-Verify because the employee\xe2\x80\x99s employment\neligibility should have been confirmed by the former agency. Furthermore, SSA staff\nstated that, although E-Verify is the Agency\xe2\x80\x99s primary resource for identity and work\nauthorization of all new hires, the Agency can also verify work authorization by obtaining\nan Office of Personnel Management (OPM) background investigation and/or viewing the\nemployee\xe2\x80\x99s Numident record.\n\nWe reviewed the Numident for the 1,767 new hires to confirm their eligibility to work in\nthe United States. Our review revealed the following.\n\n\n\n\n9\n SSA hired the 1,767 new employees to fill 162 different positions in the Agency. The top five positions\nfilled were Student Interns, Service Representatives, Claims Representatives, Benefit Authorizers, and\nBenefit Technical Examiners.\n10\n When agencies determine individuals\xe2\x80\x99 fitness to perform work as employees in the excepted service or\nas contractor employees, prior favorable fitness or suitability determinations should be granted reciprocal\nrecognition, to the extent practicable. Agencies making fitness determinations shall grant reciprocal\nrecognition to a prior favorable fitness or suitability determination when (i) the gaining agency uses criteria\nfor making fitness determinations equivalent to suitability standards established by OPM; (ii) the prior\nfavorable fitness or suitability determination was based on criteria equivalent to suitability standards\nestablished by OPM; and (iii) the individual has had no break in employment since the favorable\ndetermination was made. Executive Order 13488, Granting Reciprocity on Excepted Service and Federal\nContractor Employee Fitness and Reinvestigating Individuals in Positions of Public Trust, January 2009,\n74 FR 4111.\n\x0cPage 6 - The Commissioner\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 For 1,723 new hires, the reported names, SSNs, and DoBs matched the Numident,\n and the new hires\xe2\x80\x99 citizenship status indicated they were eligible to work in the\n United States. 11 These new hires would have received an employment-authorized\n response had SSA used E-Verify to confirm their employment eligibility.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 For 39 new hires, the names, SSNs, and DoBs in HRMIS matched the Numident,\n but their citizenship status indicated they may not have been eligible to work in the\n United States. 12 It is possible these employees were eligible to work but had failed\n to report changes to their work authorization status to SSA after being issued their\n SSNs. 13 They were assigned SSNs from 1963 to 2004 that indicated they were not\n eligible to work or were foreign-born individuals whose work authorization status was\n unknown. Had SSA used E-Verify to confirm their employment eligibility, either the\n Agency would have received an SSA TNC response or the case would have been\n referred to DHS to determine their eligibility to work. In addition, we found that 10 of\n the 39 new hires were transferees or former SSA employees. According to SSA\n staff, while E-Verify cannot be used to verify transferees, SSA has other processes\n to determine whether transferees are eligible to work. For example, as part of the\n process for issuing identification badges to employees as required by Homeland\n Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, 14 SSA reviews the Numident for all\n employees, including transferees, to verify their identity and eligibility to work.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 For three new hires, the last names in HRMIS did not match the Numident. It is\n possible either the new hires failed to notify SSA of a name change or SSA was\n notified but failed to update its records with the name change. These new hires\n would have received an SSA TNC response from E-Verify indicating their SSNs did\n not match SSA\xe2\x80\x99s Numident.\n\n\n\n\n11\n For 16 new hires, the DoB did not match exactly. However, the DoB tolerances used by E-Verify would\nhave resulted in a match response for these 16 new hires.\n12\n For two new hires, the DoB did not match exactly, but the DoB tolerances used by E-Verify would have\nprovided a match response. These two new hires would have received a no-match response based on\ntheir citizenship status.\n13\n We did not contact DHS to confirm the employment eligibility for the 39 employees. We relied on the\ninformation included in SSA\xe2\x80\x99s Numident file. Thus, their citizenship status may have changed since SSA\nassigned their SSNs.\n14\n OMB Memorandum M-05-24, Implementation of HSPD 12- Policy for a Common Identification Standard\nfor Federal Employees and Contractors, August 5, 2005. HSPD-12 directs the implementation of a new\nstandardized badging process, which is designed to enhance security, reduce identity fraud, and protect\nthe personal privacy of those issued government identification. HSPD 12 requires that Federal agencies\nconduct background investigation, including Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint check for their\nemployees. In addition, Federal employees must provide two forms of identification, one of which must\ninclude a photograph.\n\x0cPage 7 - The Commissioner\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 For one new hire, the SSN in HRMIS was not assigned to the new hire. It is\n possible the incorrect SSN entered into HRMIS was the result of a transposition\n error on behalf of the Agency. We determined the employee\xe2\x80\x99s correct SSN was\n similar to the incorrect SSN entered into SSA\xe2\x80\x99s database. This employee would\n have received an SSA TNC response from E-Verify indicating that her SSN did not\n match SSA\xe2\x80\x99s Numident.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 For one new hire, the reported DoB in SSA\xe2\x80\x99s HRMIS did not match SSA\xe2\x80\x99s Numident.\n Our review showed there was a 10-year difference in the reported DoB and the DoB\n shown on the Numident. The DoB in HRMIS was January 7, 1975, while the DoB on\n the Numident was January 7, 1985. We discussed this case with SSA staff and they\n believe the disparity in the DoB occurred because of a typographical error.\n However, this error would have been discovered had the Agency used the E-Verify\n program.\n\nVERIFICATION OF NON-SSA EMPLOYEES\n\nWe found SSA had verified the employment eligibility of 169 individuals who did not\nappear to be current SSA employees. These individuals were not included in SSA\xe2\x80\x99s\nhuman resources records nor did they have SSA wages posted to their earnings\nrecords.\n\nA detailed review for 50 of the 169 individuals revealed the following.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 31 individuals were SSA volunteers. Regional staff stated they occasionally use\n volunteers to assist with various SSA workloads. SSA accepts voluntary services\n from participants in student internship programs and certain federally funded\n vocational rehabilitation and/or training programs. The volunteers are not\n considered Federal employees for any purpose. However, they may perform SSA\n work, including duties that require limited access to sensitive information. As such,\n they are required to undergo the same personnel security and suitability screenings\n as employees who perform the same or similar duties. Our review showed that\n several regional offices erroneously used E-Verify to confirm the volunteers\xe2\x80\x99 identity\n and work eligibility status. According to the E-Verify MoU, E-Verify should be used\n to verify the work eligibility of employees. We believe SSA needs to provide clear\n guidance to staff reminding them that E-Verify should not be used to verify the work\n eligibility of volunteers because they are not Federal employees.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 18 individuals were potential candidates for employment, but SSA did not hire them.\n As stated previously, the E-Verify program should only be used to verify new hires\n and cannot be used for any pre-employment screening of job applicants. Therefore,\n SSA should not have used E-Verify to determine their employment eligibility. SSA\n needs to remind personnel staff of the E-Verify requirements for verifying new hires.\n\x0cPage 8 - The Commissioner\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 1 individual was an SSA employee whose SSN was transposed. SSA discovered\n the mistake and resubmitted her information through E-Verify to confirm her eligibility\n to work.\n\nVERIFICATION OF CURRENT SSA EMPLOYEES\n\nOur review determined that in FYs 2008 and 2009, SSA verified the employment\neligibility of 26 current SSA employees who had applied for new positions in the\nAgency. SSA\xe2\x80\x99s HRMIS showed these employees were hired from August 1975 to\nAugust 2007. The E-Verify program prohibits an employer from verifying the\nemployment eligibility of its current workforce. According to the MoU, an employer must\nnot verify employees who were hired before the effective date of the MoU. The effective\ndate of SSA\xe2\x80\x99s MoU was September 2007. According to SSA staff, the 26 existing\nemployees were verified because they were appointed to new positions in the Agency.\nWe believe SSA needs to provide guidance to staff that clarifies when it is appropriate\nto verify a new employee to help ensure the Agency is adhering to the E-Verify MoU.\nThe guidance should clearly define who is considered a new hire or an existing\nemployee for the purpose of verification.\n\nTIMELINESS OF VERIFICATIONS\n\nAlthough SSA verified the employment eligibility of 3,886 (51 percent) of the 7,544 new\nhires within 7 calendar days, we determined the remaining 3,658 (49 percent) new hires\nwere verified either before they were hired or at least 8 calendar days after they were\nhired, which is prohibited by the E-Verify MoU (see Table 1). 15 The MoU requires that\nemployers verify new hires within 3 business days after they are hired. In analyzing the\ntimeliness of verifications, we allowed 7 calendar days (5 business days) as a\nbenchmark to account for SSA\xe2\x80\x99s Servicing Personnel Offices receiving the Form I-9\nfrom the hiring offices. Among the 3,658 new hires, we found the following.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 1,874 (25 percent) new hires were verified 1 to 202 days before their date of hire,\n with a median of 10 days. For example, SSA verified a new employee on\n December 3, 2007, and HRMIS showed the employee was hired on June 22, 2008.\n Therefore, SSA verified the employee about 202 days before her date of hire. We\n contacted regional staff and determined this occurred because the individual was\n brought on as a volunteer in December 2007 and verified through the E-Verify\n program at that time. The individual was not classified as an SSA employee until\n June 2008 when she was hired as a student intern under the Student Temporary\n Employment Program. In another example, SSA verified an employee on April 14,\n 2008, and HRMIS showed the employee was not hired until July 20, 2008.\n Therefore, SSA verified the employee about 97 days before his hire date. We\n discussed this case with SSA staff and learned the individual had initially accepted\n SSA\xe2\x80\x99s job offer, completed section 1 of the Form I-9, mailed the Form to SSA, and\n\n15\n To assess the timeliness of the verifications, we used the employee\xe2\x80\x99s date of entry because this was\nthe first day that SSA staff would have reviewed and completed the Form I-9.\n\x0cPage 9 - The Commissioner\n\n was verified through the E-Verify program at that time. However, the individual\n subsequently declined the job offer and never reported for duty. This individual later\n applied and was hired for another position at SSA on July 20, 2008. The E-Verify\n MoU prohibits an employer from initiating verification procedures before an\n employee has been hired and both sections of the Form I-9 have been completed.\n According to the Form I-9, the employee must complete section 1 at the time of\n employment, and the employer must complete section 2 after they have examined\n the evidence of identity and employment authorization. 16 Verifying an employee\n before his date of hire could be perceived as pre-screening, which is prohibited by\n the MoU. 17\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 1,784 (24 percent) new hires were verified 8 to 522 days after their date of hire, with\n a median of 17 days. For example, SSA verified an employee on April 16, 2009, but\n HRMIS showed the employee\xe2\x80\x99s date of hire was November 11, 2007 indicating SSA\n had verified the employee about 522 days after her date of hire. According to SSA\n staff, the Agency did not always meet the 3-day requirement because of the volume\n of new hires who had to be entered into E-verify. In addition, the Agency had other\n competing priorities (for example, conducting background checks and processing\n payroll transactions) that delayed verifying the new hires.\n\nCONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS\nIn FYs 2008 and 2009, SSA (1) did not verify the employment eligibility for about\n19 percent of its new hires; (2) did not verify about 49 percent of new hires within\n7 calendar days after the new hires\xe2\x80\x99 date of hire; and (3) verified the employment\neligibility of 26 existing SSA employees, 31 volunteers, and at least 18 job candidates,\nwhich was not in accordance with the E-Verify MoU.\n\nWe believe by not using E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility of all its new\nhires, SSA increases the risk of hiring individuals who are not eligible to work in the\nUnited States. Further, we believe SSA needs to set an example for Federal agencies\nwhen using E-Verify by making sure all new hires are verified to help maintain a legal\nworkforce, and improve the accuracy of wage and tax reporting. In addition, the Agency\nneeds to ensure it complies with all the E-Verify requirements related to existing\nemployees and job candidates.\n\n\n\n\n16\n An example of the Form I-9 is included in Appendix D.\n17\n It should be noted that in July 2009, DHS changed its timeframe rules for verifying the employment\neligibility of new hires. Per DHS, the earliest an employer may initiate a query is after an individual\naccepts an offer of employment and both the employee and employer have completed the Form I-9. In\naddition, the employer must initiate the query no later than the end of 3 business days after the new hire\xe2\x80\x99s\nactual start date.\n\x0cPage 10 - The Commissioner\n\nAccordingly, we recommend SSA:\n\n1. Ensure the 1,713 new hires discussed in the report are verified through the E-Verify\n program to confirm their employment eligibility and ensure that SSA has complied\n with the E-Verify MoU.\n\n2. Establish guidance that reminds staff to follow the E-Verify MoU regarding\n (1) verifying \xe2\x80\x9call new hires,\xe2\x80\x9d (2) conducting verification queries within 3 business\n days after a new employee has reported for duty and both sections of the Form I-9\n have been completed, and (3) prohibiting the verification of existing SSA employees\n and job candidates.\n\n3. Provide written guidance to staff reminding them that E-Verify should not be used to\n verify the work eligibility of volunteers.\n\n4. Resolve the SSA TNC response and update the Numident record for the one\n individual whose last name was misspelled on the Numident.\n\nAGENCY COMMENTS\nSSA agreed with our recommendations. The full text of the Agency\xe2\x80\x99s comments is\nincluded in Appendix E.\n\n\n\n\n Patrick P.

United States Code\n\nForms\nForm I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification\nForm SS-5 Application for a Social Security Number\n\x0c Appendix B\n\nDescription of the E-Verify Program\nE-Verify, formerly known as the Basic Pilot/Employment Eligibility Verification, is a\nDepartment of Homeland Security (DHS) program whereby participating employers\nverify whether newly hired employees are authorized to work in the United States.1 The\nSocial Security Administration (SSA) supports DHS in operating this program.\nEmployers must register with DHS to access E-Verify. Participating employers input\ninformation about the new hire, including his/her name, date of birth (DoB), and Social\nSecurity number (SSN), as well as whether the new hire claims to be a U.S. citizen or\nwork-authorized noncitizen (for noncitizens, the DHS-issued alien or admission number\nis also entered) into the E-Verify program.\n\nThe information the employer submits via E-Verify is sent to SSA to verify the name,\nSSN, and DoB against SSA\xe2\x80\x99s Numident 2 records. SSA also provides DHS an indication\nof U.S. citizenship, as recorded in SSA\xe2\x80\x99s records. DHS confirms the current\nemployment-authorization for non-citizens. The E-Verify program will provide one of the\nfollowing responses stating that employment eligibility is authorized or employment\neligibility is given tentative nonconfirmation (TNC).\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Employment Authorized\xe2\x80\x94The data input by the employer matched the information in\n SSA\xe2\x80\x99s and DHS\xe2\x80\x99 databases, and the new hire is authorized to work in the United\n States.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 SSA TNC\xe2\x80\x94The data input by the employer did not match information in SSA\xe2\x80\x99s\n Numident. If the employee chooses to contest, he or she has 8 Federal workdays to\n visit a local SSA field office to present documentation required to update or correct\n the Numident record.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 DHS TNC\xe2\x80\x94The data input by the employer for a noncitizen did not match the\n information in DHS\xe2\x80\x99 immigration records and/or the DHS record shows the new hire\n is not authorized to work. If the employee chooses to contest, he or she has\n 8 Federal workdays to contact DHS.\n\n\n\n\n1\n Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A, of the Illegal Immigration\nReform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-208, as amended (8 U.S.C. \xc2\xa7\n1324a note).\n2\n The Numident is a record of identifying information (such as, name, DoB, date of death, mother\xe2\x80\x99s\nmaiden name, etc.) provided by the applicant on his or her Application for a Social Security Number\n(Form SS-5) for an original SSN and subsequent applications for replacement SSN cards. Each record is\nhoused in the Numident Master File.\n\n\n B-1\n\x0cAs of the end of Fiscal Year 2009, about 156,000 employers, representing about\n605,000 locations, were enrolled to use E-Verify. These employers submitted\napproximately 8.5 million queries during this period.\n\nNEW ENHANCEMENTS TO E-VERIFY\n\nAccording to DHS officials, 3 DHS, in cooperation with SSA, has made several\nenhancements to E-Verify to improve accuracy rates, ensure E-Verify is fast and easy\nto use, and ensure efficient and effective verification. Some of the enhancements are\ndiscussed below.\n\nPast Program Enhancements\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 In September 2007, DHS instituted an automatic flag notice that allows employers to\n double check the data they entered into the system for those queries that are about\n to result in a mismatch. The change was to help reduce the number of mismatches\n that occur because of data entry errors.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 In May 2008, the E-Verify program added the Integrated Border Inspection System\n that provides real-time arrival and departure information for non-citizens to its\n databases to prevent mismatches that previously resulted from delays in data entry\n for persons entering the United States through ports of entry.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 In February 2009, DHS began incorporating passport data into E-Verify to help verify\n citizenship status information in the event of a mismatch with SSA for citizens who\n present a United States passport during the Form I-9 process.\n\nFuture Program Enhancements\n\nDHS plans to make the following enhancements in FY 2010.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Incorporate the Student and Exchange Visitors Information System (SEVIS) data\n into E-Verify to improve E-Verify's ability to automatically verify international students\n and exchange visitors. By incorporating SEVIS nonimmigrant student visa data into\n the automatic initial E-Verify check, the number of students and exchange visitors\n who receive initial mismatches and then have to contest the initial result is expected\n to reduce.\n\n\n\n\n3\n Interior Enforcement of Immigration Laws: Eliminating Employer Demand for Illegal Immigrants as part\nof Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Testimony of Gerri Ratliff, Deputy Associate Director of the\nNational Security and Records Verification Directorate, United States Citizenship and Immigration\nServices, DHS, before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugee\nand Border Security, July 21, 2009.\n\n\n B-2\n\x0c\xe2\x80\xa2 Expand the types of documents available to the E-Verify system to provide\n photograph confirmation. Currently, only DHS-issued identity documents are\n displayed in the photograph tool, but DHS is seeking to expand the types of\n photographs available in this functionality. This would prevent one possible avenue\n of identity theft currently used to \xe2\x80\x9cgame\xe2\x80\x9d the system.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Initiate a State-based Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) data exchange that\n would incorporate driver\xe2\x80\x99s license photographs into the photograph tool. This would\n represent a significant enhancement to the system since new hires most often\n present a driver\xe2\x80\x99s license for Form I-9 purposes. To date, no State has agreed to\n add its driver\xe2\x80\x99s license data to the photograph tool. As a first step, DHS plans to add\n a function to the system that will allow employers to query by driver\xe2\x80\x99s license\n number. This will confirm the driver\xe2\x80\x99s license number provided by the individual on\n the Form I-9 and his or her name match in the state DMV\xe2\x80\x99s driver\xe2\x80\x99s license system.\n This functionality would be available to any state that chooses to participate.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Enable individuals to choose to \xe2\x80\x9clock\xe2\x80\x9d and \xe2\x80\x9cunlock\xe2\x80\x9d SSNs for E-Verify purposes.4\n DHS is aware that identity fraud is a serious concern in the United States and is\n especially concerned with how this practice affects E-Verify and thus the new\n enhancement should help detect and determine fraud.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Examine the best ways to validate the legitimacy of employers using the system, the\n individual registrants applying to use the system, and those using the system after\n the enrollment phase. Improving the registration portion of the E-Verify program will\n help ensure that E-Verify has accurate and complete information on those\n employers using the program.\n\n\n\n\n4\n Under the DHS proposal, numberholders who have been victims of identity theft would have the option\nof contacting DHS and requesting their SSN be \xe2\x80\x9clocked\xe2\x80\x9d within the E-Verify program.\n\n\n B-3\n\x0c Appendix C\n\nScope and Methodology\nTo accomplish our objective, we:\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Reviewed applicable Federal laws, Social Security Administration (SSA) policies and\n procedures, and the E-Verify User Manual related to the E-Verify program.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Reviewed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Department of\n Homeland Security (DHS) and the employer that enumerates the specific\n responsibilities of DHS, SSA, and the employer with respect to the E-Verify program.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Obtained and reviewed a data extract from SSA\xe2\x80\x99s Human Resource Management\n Information System of 9,311 SSA employees hired from Fiscal Year 2008 through\n March 31, 2009.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Obtained and reviewed a data extract of approximately 141,000 former and current\n SSA employees who were included in the Mainframe Time and Attendance System\n as of January 2009.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Obtained and reviewed a data extract of approximately 8,600 SSA employees who\n were verified through the E-Verify program between October 1, 2007 and\n April 30, 2009.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Reviewed the Numident File for the 1,767 new hires who were not verified through\n E-Verify to confirm the identity and eligibility to work.\n\n\xe2\x80\xa2 Held discussions with regional staff to determine why new hires were not always\n verified, existing employees were verified, and new hires were not verified timely.\n\nWe found data used for this audit were sufficiently reliable to meet our audit objectives.\nThe entity responsible for the maintenance of the E-Verify program is the Office of\nPersonnel under the Deputy Commissioner for Human Resources. Our work was\nconducted at the Philadelphia Audit Division, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, between May\nand August 2009. We conducted this performance audit in accordance with generally\naccepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and\nperform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable\nbasis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe the\nevidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based\non our audit objectives.\n\x0c Appendix D\n\nEmployment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9)\n\x0c Appendix E\n\nAgency Comments\n\x0c SOCIAL SECURITY\n\n\nMEMORANDUM\n\n\nDate: December 30, 2009 Refer To: S1J-3\n\nTo: Patrick P.
