Your employer may inform you that your E-Verify case received a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or Social Security Administration (SSA) Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) case result. A DHS or SSA TNC means that the information your employer entered in E-Verify from your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, did not match DHS or SSA records. A DHS or SSA TNC case result does not mean that you are not authorized to work in the United States.
An SSA Tentative Nonconfirmation may occur if:
Your citizenship or immigration status changed since you last received your Social Security number.
You changed your name but did not report the change to SSA.
Your name, Social Security number or date of birth was recorded incorrectly in SSA records.
There is another type of mismatch with your SSA record.
Your employer did not enter your information correctly in E-Verify.
The name you provided on your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, is not consistent with your name in SSA records.
A DHS Tentative Nonconfirmation may occur if:
Your name, A-number, and/or I-94 number was recorded incorrectly in DHS records.
Your U.S. Passport, Passport Card, driver’s license or state ID card information could not be verified.
Your information was not updated in DHS records at the time your information was checked in E-Verify.
Your citizenship or immigration status changed.
There is another type of error on your DHS record.
Your employer did not submit your information correctly to E-Verify.
The name you provided on your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, is not consistent with your name in DHS records.
