Statistics
These statistics are based on E-Verify cases in Fiscal Year 2011. All figures are expressed as a percentage of the total number of cases submitted. Percentages may not appear to sum due to rounding
Most employees are automatically confirmed as work authorized.
-
98.3 percent of employees are automatically confirmed as authorized to work ("work authorized") either instantly or within 24 hours, requiring no employee or employer action.
-
1.7 percent of employees receive initial system mismatches.
Of the 1.7% of employees who receive initial system mismatches:
-
0.28 percent of employees are confirmed as work authorized after contesting and resolving an initial mismatch.
-
1.39 percent of employees are not found work authorized.
Of the 1.39% of employees not found to be work authorized:
-
1.13 percent of employees receive initial mismatches and do not contest the mismatch either because they do not choose to or are unaware of the opportunity to contest and as a result are not found work authorized. The E-Verify program closely monitors uncontested mismatches and actively reaches out to employers to ensure that they are aware of their responsibility to inform employees of the right to contest.
-
0.01 percent of employees receive initial mismatches contest the mismatch and are not found work authorized.
-
0.24 percent of employees receive initial mismatches which remain unresolved because the employer closed the cases as "self-terminated" or as requiring further action by either the employer or employee at the end of FY11.
E-Verify is regularly updated and enhanced to improve its accuracy and usability.
