Step 2: Verification Results
Once the user submits the information from Step 1, E-Verify will send back an Initial Case Result in real-time. There are three possible initial case results:
- Employment Authorized: The employee’s information matched records available to SSA and/or DHS.
- SSA or DHS Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC): Information does not initially match records available to SSA and/or DHS. Additional action is required.
- DHS Verification In Process: This case is referred to DHS for further verification.
