Federal contractors will be required to use a government-run electronic employment eligibility verification system starting early next year under a regulation announced Friday, November 14.
The Department of Homeland Security said the 274-page rule will go into effect January 15, 2009. Companies that win a federal contract of more than $100,000and subcontractors with contracts of greater than $3,000will have to enroll in E-Verify, the electronic verification mechanism, within 30 days of being awarded the work.
