E-Verify [1]

E-Verify is a web-based system implemented by the Federal government that allows employers to determine if employees are eligible to work in the United States and to prevent identity fraud. Although E-Verify has been around since 1997, as of September 8, 2009, the government started adding the requirement to contracts and subcontracts through the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.222-54 Employment Eligibility Verification [2].  (E-Verify does not apply to grants/subgrants.)  When the FAR clause 52.222-54 is present, either as a direct clause or a flow-through clause on a subcontract, the University must comply with the regulation to verify that anybody who is directly appointed to/paid from the Federal contract is verified through E-Verify.
