2.1 Termination

DHS has a vested interest in protecting the integrity of E-Verify. E-Verify may terminate without notice any system users who engage in behaviors resulting in security breaches, fraudulent use of the system, adverse actions against workers based upon the employer’s failure to follow E-Verify rules, policies or procedures, violation of privacy laws, or other legal requirements.

DHS may also terminate without notice, the access of any Web service employer or E-Verify employer agent who creates or uses an interface that conflicts with E-Verify procedures.

The Web Services E-Verify employer agent may terminate participation in E-Verify at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other parties. In addition, any employer represented by the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent may voluntarily terminate its MOU upon giving DHS 30 days’ written notice.

The employer may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other parties.

Users who are federal contractors may voluntarily terminate their MOU when the federal contract that requires their participation in E-Verify is terminated or completed. See the chart below for more information.

IF... THEN...
A web service employer or E-Verify employer agent a federal contractor uses wishes to terminate its MOU when the federal contract requiring E-Verify participation is terminated or completed, the Web services employer or employer agent must provide written notice to DHS.
the Web services employer or employer agent does not provide written notice of its intent to terminate the MOU, that account remains active and the E-Verify participant remains bound by the terms of the MOU that apply to non-federal contractor participants. The employer or E-Verify employer agent must continue to use E-Verify to verify employment eligibility of all newly hired employees and cannot use E-Verify to verify existing employees.
