Is it correct to describe E-Verify as a "federally-approved" program in public materials?

Describing E-Verify as a "federally-approved" program in public materials is not allowed because it can mislead individuals about the nature of the program. E-Verify is indeed a program operated by the federal government to verify the employment eligibility of workers, but labeling it as "federally-approved" can imply a level of endorsement or certification that is not accurate. This phrase might suggest that all employers using E-Verify are guaranteed to be compliant with immigration laws, which is not the case.

The guidelines regarding the use of E-Verify's branding are strict to ensure that the program is represented correctly and to avoid any potential misinterpretations of its legal and operational framework. Public materials should emphasize the program’s purpose and functionality without implying that participation equates to government endorsement. Therefore, the designation of E-Verify as "federally-approved" in public materials is not permitted to maintain the integrity and clarity of the program's representation.
