Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC)

A TNC case result means that the information entered into E-Verify from Form I-9 differs from records available to SSA and/or DHS.

E-Verify identifies the agency associated with the mismatch when the TNC result is provided.

There are two types of TNCs:

  • Social Security Administration (SSA): An SSA TNC means that the information entered into E-Verify does not match SSA records.
  • Department of Homeland Security (DHS): A DHS TNC means that the information entered into E-Verify does not match records available to DHS.
