E-Verify+ adds control and convenience for employees, but sometimes circumstances prevent them from using it to submit their information. On Wednesday, June 18, E-Verify+ launched a feature allowing employees to opt out of the E-Verify+ process and complete a traditional Form I-9 and E-Verify case.
Once the employee selects “Opt Out” in E-Verify+ and successfully completes the opt out process, the employee’s E-Verify+ case status will change to “Case Closed Opt Out” and the case will automatically close. The employee will be directed to contact their employer to complete Section 1 of a Form I-9 and provide acceptable documentation showing their identity and employment authorization.
Important: If an employee opts out, they still must complete Section 1 and provide documentation no later than their first day of employment, and the employer must create an E-Verify case within three business days.
The updated case status will appear on the employer’s E-Verify dashboard under “Recently Auto-Closed Cases.”
Select View Auto-Closed Cases.
The employer will see the updated case status “Case Closed Opt Out.”
- Select View Case to review the case details.
