DHS plans to enhance E-verify.

DHS has publicized initiatives to enhance the E-verify program here. The initiatives include:

(1) a new agreement with the Department of Justice that will streamline the adjudication process in cases of E-Verify misuse and discrimination;

(2) an informational telephone hotline for employees to provide a more timely, effective and seamless customer experience for workers seeking E-Verify information; and

(3) new training videos focusing on E-Verify procedures and policies, employee rights and employer responsibilities in English and Spanish.

The DHS's fact Sheet answers questions such as when and why E-Verify will share information with DOJ, what information it will share, what videos are available and where, how the employee hotline will work, what issues it will address, etc.
