Who is exempt from using E-Verify?
Many small businesses are exempt unless E-Verify is written into a federal contract, subcontract, or mandated by state law.
E-Verify is generally required only for certain federal contractors and employers in states or situations where specific laws or clauses apply. Many small businesses are not automatically required to use E-Verify unless it is written into a federal contract, subcontract, or mandated under state law. That said, contracting officers may include E-Verify clauses in awards, particularly for work performed on federal sites or involving sensitive missions.
