End of E-Verify alerts for terminated work authorization shifts burden to employers

On June 20, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a change in how E-Verify will manage the termination notification of employees with employment authorization documents (EADs) that have been revoked. Recently, DHS ended the removal protections and employment authorization for thousands of individuals covered by temporary protected status (TPS) and parole programs. Initially, E-Verify notified employers of the terminated EADs through Case Status Alerts. Now, employers will be required to actively monitor the status of their employees by generating the newly released Status Change Report. This report replaces the use of Case Status Alerts and will be regularly updated.

E-Verify and Status Change Report

E-Verify is a system that compares information entered by an employer from an employee’s Form I-9 to records available to DHS and the Social Security Administration to confirm employment eligibility. Enrollment in E-Verify is voluntary for most employers except for certain federal contractors and employers seeking to employ students in F-1 STEM OPT status. It is also mandatory in some states (e.g., Arizona, Florida, Tennessee, and Utah).
