Verified Credentials, Inc., the leader in background screening since 1984, announced today the nationwide availability of their web-based Electronic I-9 Verification solution, enabling employers to verify the work eligibility of newly hired employees through the U.S. government’s E-Verify system.

E-Verify is an online system that provides access to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) databases to registered participants. As a Certified Designated Agent for E-Verify, Verified Credentials can now submit queries to DHS and SSA government databases and compare the information with an employee’s I-9 form, including Social Security number, work visa authorization, I-94 arrival and departure numbers, and immigration “A” number.

Verified Credentials’

new Electronic I-9 Verification provides employers with an easier, more efficient way to electronically administer post-hire employment eligibility verifications within Verified Credentials’ proprietary, web-based background screening solution.

Verified Credentials simplifies I-9 management for employers through:
– An easy, streamlined online submission process.
– Email notices and instructions when follow-up action is required by the employer.
– Paperless storage of results and communications.
– Real-time status updates for fast turnaround.

“The new Electronic I-9 Verification expands Verified Credentials’ services beyond employment background screening to help employers consolidate human resources processes and records,” said Kevin Spang, CEO of Verified Credentials. “As state and federal regulations continue to expand, the process we have defined for our new Electronic I-9 Verification will not only help employers meet these E-Verify regulations, but also streamline and simplify the process with the same outstanding customer service, quality and accuracy Verified Credentials has always provided.”
