After Form I-9 information has been entered into E-Verify, E-Verify promptly provides an initial case result. An initial case result is the first, and sometimes final, case result provided by E-Verify. An overview of the case result is listed in the Case Results – Overview.
CASE RESULTS - OVERVIEW
Employment Authorized | The employee’s information matched records available to DHS and/or SSA. |
|---|---|
E-Verify Needs More Time | This case was referred to DHS for further verification. |
Tentative Nonconfirmation (Mismatch) | Information did not match records available to DHS and/or SSA. Additional action is required. |
Case in Continuance | The employee has contacted DHS or visited an SSA field office, but more time is needed to determine a final case result. |
Close Case and Resubmit | DHS or SSA requires that you close the case and create a new case for this employee. This result may be issued when the employee’s U.S. passport, passport card, or driver’s license information is incorrect. |
Final Nonconfirmation | E-Verify cannot confirm an employee’s employment eligibility after the employee contacted DHS or visited SSA. |
Each case result is unique and may or may not require additional action by you, your client and/or the employee. For specific guidance related to case results, refer to the E-Verify User Manual.
