What can a mismatch in E-Verify lead to for an employee?

A mismatch in E-Verify can result in the employee receiving a Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) or Final Nonconfirmation (FNC) notification. This situation arises when the information provided by the employee does not match what is available in the government databases, prompting a verification process to confirm their employment eligibility.

A TNC serves as an initial notification that the employee's information does not match the records. The employee is then given the opportunity to contest the potential discrepancy with the relevant government agency within a specific timeframe. If the issue remains unresolved, it may escalate to a Final Nonconfirmation, which indicates that the employee is not authorized to work in the United States.

The importance of understanding TNC and FNC processes is crucial for both employers and employees to ensure that workers' rights are protected and compliance with federal regulations is maintained. Other choices like security clearance eligibility, tax refund eligibility, or issuance of additional identification don’t directly relate to the implications of a mismatch in employment verification through E-Verify.
