Are local government recipients of ARRA funds required to use E-Verify?
According to the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify website, E-Verify “is an Internet based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA) that allows participating employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees.” As of September 8, 2009, federal contractors are required to use the E-Verify system to verify their employees’ eligibility to work in the United States. However, this requirement does not automatically apply to state or local government contracts that are funded through ARRA.
