Website Spotlight: Self Check (a part of E-Verify)

Searching for a job can be overwhelming so you’ll want to use every tool you can to ensure that you’re eligible. Self Check is a free, online service of E-Verify that allows workers to check their own employment eligibility status and is now is available in both English and Spanish nationwide.

 

Self Check is part of E-Verify, a Department of Homeland Security program administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in partnership with the Social Security Administration. E-Verify is used by many employers to verify the employment eligibility of their new employees.

 

So how can job hunters benefit from Self Check? Below are few ways:

 

- Self Check takes the mystery out of the employment eligibility confirmation process. Workers are able to identify whether there are any inaccuracies in their records before they seek employment. Self Check also tells you how to resolve these issues prior to taking a job.

 

- Self Check enables U.S. workers to use the same information that employers enter into E-Verify and check it against the same databases that E-Verify checks. Wouldn’t you like to know whether you would be work authorized by E-Verify before your new boss does?

 

- Self Check is fast, easy, and free!
