Launched in 2014, myE-Verify is a free service from the DHS that helps jobseekers understand their rights, prepare for employment eligibility verification, and protect their identity. While E-Verify is designed for employers, myE-Verify was created to benefit workers and job-seekers.

Last week, the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) delivered a webcast from a panel of experts discussing new features and benefits of the myE-Verify system. Here are some of our observations.

• E-Verify is rapidly growing with 600,000 employers utilizing it at more than 1.9 million hiring sites and 29 million cases. Click here for more information about E-Verify laws in your state.
• Employers are encouraged to get the word out to potential employees about the benefits of myE-Verify. Incorporating information into employment tools and sites is a great way to accomplish this and improve your candidate experience.
• Employers cannot require employees to utilize myE-Verify or use a myE-Verify Self-Check for verification, they must continue to follow the E-Verify MOU and any applicable laws in their state.
• A Spanish language version of myE-Verify is now available. And, the myE-Verify resource center, with information for workers to understand their rights and responsibilities, is available in up to 20 languages.
