What is E-Verify?

E-Verify is an online system that enables employers to confirm the employment eligibility of their employees. This system allows employers to compare the information provided in the employee's Form I-9 with data from the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. E-Verify helps employers ensure that they are hiring individuals who are legally authorized to work in the United States, thus helping to prevent unauthorized employment.

The use of this online system offers convenience and accuracy in verifying employment eligibility, which distinguishes it from manual verification methods that may be less efficient or prone to errors. Additionally, while other options refer to various processes such as background checks or tax documentation, E-Verify specifically focuses on the verification of work eligibility status, making option B the most accurate choice.
