Federal
law requires all employers to verify the identity and employment
eligibility of all persons hired to work in the United States.
Goodwill
will provide the Social Security Administration (SSA) and, if
necessary, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with information
from each new employee’s Form I-9 to confirm work authorization.
IMPORTANT:
If the Government cannot confirm that you are authorized to work, this
employer is required to provide you written instructions and an
opportunity to contact SSA and/or DHS before taking adverse action
against you, including terminating your employment.
Employers
may not use E-Verify to pre-screen job applicants or to re-verify
current employees and may not limit or influence the choice of
documents presented for use on the Form I-9. In order to
determine whether Form I-9 documentation is valid, this employer uses
E-Verify’s photo screening tool to match the photograph appearing on
some permanent resident and employment authorization cards with the
official U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) photograph.
If
you believe that your employer has violated its responsibilities under
this program or has discriminated against you during the verification
process based upon your national origin or citizenship status, please
call the Office of Special Counsel at 1-800-255-7688 (TDD: 1-800-237-2515).
For more information on E-Verify, please contact DHS at: 1-888-464-4218
