The latest legal update on E-Verify compliance for government contractors is now available. Jointly produced by Michael Best & Friedrich LLP and MBO, E-Verify Requirements for Contractors offers a groundbreaking preview of the shape of new regulations to come. In June, Bush signed an Executive Order mandating E-Verify I-9 checks for persons working on government contracts -- both new and existing workers. E-Verify raises sticky issues when it comes to sub-contractors, small vendors, and independent consultants performing work for federal contractors. Even more attention-getting is the risk of getting it wrong -- failure to comply can lead to penalties ranging from fines to debarment from federal contracting. As was revealed at our briefing on Friday, your E-Verify program is only as good as your contractor classification. If you're exposed to contractor reclassification risk, then for every misclassified contractor, you have a de facto employee working on a government contract who you have not E-Verified. But don't take my word for it -- check out the paper, run your own research, and send our your comments and feedback.
Stay tuned for the most up to date info regarding E-Verify. The comment period is closed, and detailed instruction is expected to be released as soon as November.

E-Verify is an online system that allows employers to check the work status of new hires by comparing information from an employee's Form I-9 against Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security databases. Although initially a voluntary program, as a result of a Presidential Executive Order signed in June, all federal contractors will be required to use the system.
