Why was Self Check initially limited to certain states?

Self Check launched in March 2011 as a completely new service offered by the government, and USCIS wanted to make sure that it delivered on our promise of offering U.S. workers employment eligibility information in an accurate and efficient manner. We rolled out Self Check in select states to gain experience in operating the program and ensure that it is accomplished its mission.

As of February 2012, Self Check is available to all U.S. States, District of Columbia, and outlying territories.
