Alien Verification Initiative

The State of Idaho has made the decision to work as a partner with the federal government to fight illegal immigration. The tool that makes this possible is a federal program called E-Verify.
Simply put, the E-Verify program provides employers like the State of Idaho and businesses of all sizes a no-cost way to confirm that the people they hire are indeed eligible to work in America. Participation in the program is voluntary and free.
In Idaho, the state is taking the lead by signing up for this program to make sure your tax dollars are not funneled into the pockets of illegal aliens. The state is also encouraging businesses across Idaho to follow this lead and sign up for this voluntary program.
Illegal immigration is a complex and difficult issue. But here in Idaho, we can do our part by making sure that illegal aliens aren’t rewarded with jobs for breaking our nation’s laws. Signing up for this alien verification program is quick, easy, and free. And most important, it’s the right thing to do.

How it Works

This federal program allows employers to verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired employees by verifying employment eligibility with the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) databases via a Web-Based Access Method.
Participation in this program is voluntary, and is free to participating employers.
