The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issues advance notice that all federal contractors must use the E-Verify system to confirm employment eligibility of its employees. The requirement comes from Presidential order 12989, mandating that all federal contractors enroll with E-Verify.

E-Verify is an on-line free, voluntary program for employers to quickly verify employment eligibility of its employees. Those who wish to take advantage of this program must enroll and follow the program rules. For example, once an employer is enrolled with E-Verify, it must use it for all its employees.
