E-Verify Update
On August 26th, a federal district court in Maryland upheld DHS’ E-Verify federal contractor rule
and dismissed a Chamber of Commerce lawsuit to halt the implementation of the rule. The court
held that contracting with the federal government is voluntary, thus they are not required to
participate in the E-Verify system. The court further held that E-Verify is not limited to
employment verification of new hires, since the Congress could have explicitly prohibited
such an application, but did not. The ruling allows for the implementation of the E-Verify
requirement for federal contractors to go into effect as scheduled on September 8, 2009.
