E-Verify Temporarily Unavailable 🚨 As of October 1, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has suspended all E-Verify services due to a lapse in federal funding. Until Congress passes an appropriations bill, employers will not be able to: Enroll in E-Verify Create new cases or update existing ones Reset passwords or edit user information Access Self Check or Self Lock (myE-Verify) Receive customer support by phone or email What this means for employers 1.Form I-9 is still required: Employers must continue to complete and retain Form I-9 for all new hires within three business days. 2.Three-day rule suspended: The requirement to create an E-Verify case within three days of hire is on hold. Employers should document the delay as “Technical Problems” once the system is available again. 3.No adverse action: Employers cannot terminate or take action against employees because their employment eligibility cannot be confirmed while E-Verify is offline. 4.Tentative Nonconfirmations (TNCs): If an employee is disputing a TNC, cases must remain on hold until E-Verify resumes. Employees will have additional time to resolve issues once the system is back online. 5.Remote verification: Employers already using the alternative remote procedure may continue to do so, with the understanding that cases must eventually be submitted to E-Verify. The key takeaway is that I-9 compliance remains mandatory, but E-Verify requirements are paused until the system is restored. Employers should be ready to process pending cases once services are back up.

Enhancing Digital Government Services: GovPSS Employment Confirmation Process Gets Major Upgrade We're pleased to announce significant improvements to the Government Public Servants Support (GovPSS) platform, specifically addressing pain points in our Employment Confirmation letter request process. Key Enhancements: 🔔 Automated Email Notifications: Employees with registered email addresses now receive real-time status updates when their Employment Confirmation letters are approved or rejected—eliminating the need for manual status checking. 📧 Optimized Workflow for Approvers: HR Managers now receive individual emails for each request instead of stacked notifications, ensuring no requests fall through the cracks and enabling more efficient processing. Impact: These updates directly address user feedback and significantly improve both employee experience and administrative efficiency. We expect to see reduced processing times and enhanced transparency across the entire workflow. This is another step forward in our commitment to digital transformation in public service delivery. By leveraging technology to streamline bureaucratic processes, we're creating more responsive government services for our public servants. Next Steps: All users are encouraged to verify their email addresses are current in their GovPSS profiles to take full advantage of these new notification features. #DigitalGovernment #PublicSector #HRTechnology #ProcessImprovement #GovTech #DigitalTransformation #PublicService #SystemOptimization
