Key Notes
- E-Verify is a federal online system confirming employment authorization.
- It does not replace Form I-9 — it’s the second verification step.
- A Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) doesn’t mean the employee isn’t authorized; it means the data didn’t match.
- Employers must notify the employee immediately and give them a chance to contest.
- Never take adverse action while a TNC is pending.
- Proper training and documentation protect you from fines and discrimination claims.
