What does "Tentative nonconfirmation" indicate in an E-Verify case?

A "Tentative nonconfirmation" in an E-Verify case indicates that the information provided by the employee does not match the records held by the government. This means that E-Verify has found a discrepancy between the employee's information, such as their name, Social Security number, or other identifying details, and the information in governmental databases.

When a tentative nonconfirmation occurs, it does not mean the employee is ineligible to work; rather, it simply means further verification is needed. The employee is given the opportunity to correct the information or provide additional documentation to resolve the discrepancy. Thus, this status prompts the employee to address the mismatch, which is a crucial part of ensuring that employment verification processes are accurate and fair.
