USCIS E-Verify Issues Summary of Temporary Policies Due to COVID-19

January 26, 2021

E-Verify posted the following update regarding the extension of the timeframe for taking action to resolve Tentative Nonconfirmations (TNCs):

If you have an employee who received a TNC who no longer works for you, you must wait for E-Verify to update the employee’s case so you can close the case in E-Verify. Employers must close all cases in E-Verify. Due to the extension for employees to resolve their TNCs, E-Verify will provide employers adequate time to close their cases once E-Verify updates these cases.
