USCIS published a Supplemental Guide providing guidance for Federal contractors on the E-Verify rule. The E-Verify language in the regulation took effect on September 8, 2009.

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. 

E-Verify is free and voluntary and is the best means available for determining employment eligibility of new hires and the validity of their Social Security Numbers.

For E-verify User's Manual Please see attachment.
