My employee asked for our E-Verify company ID number so they can apply for a STEM OPT extension. Can we release this information?

Employers may release their E-Verify company ID numbers. F-1 students applying for a STEM OPT extension must provide their employer’s E-Verify company ID number or valid E-Verify client company ID number on their Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, in order to be granted the STEM OPT extension. If you choose not to disclose the number, the student cannot complete the application and will not be able to work for you.
