E-Verify - Final Nonconfirmations

A case receives a Final Nonconfirmation result when E-Verify cannot confirm an employee’s employment eligibility after: 

• The employee has visited a SSA field office and/or contacted DHS during the Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) referral process;
• The employee failed to visit SSA and/or call DHS within 8 federal government working days; or
• The employee did not give the employer their decision whether to take action by the end of the 10th federal government working day after E-Verify issued the TNC result.

Employers must close the case once a case receives a Final Nonconfirmation result. The employer may terminate employment based on a case result of Final Nonconfirmation with no civil or criminal liability as noted in “Responsibilities of the Employer,” Article II, Section A, paragraph 13 of the MOU.
