On March 27, 2008, Rhode Island's Governor issued an executive order that will require any person, business, contractor, or subcontractor doing business with the State of Rhode Island to register with and utilize E-Verify to confirm the employment authorization of new hires. In addition, most state agencies in Rhode Island's Executive Branch must use E-Verify to verify the employment authorization of new hires.
The Department of Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, and General Treasurer are exempt from this requirement. The Executive Order does not contain an effective date, and officials in Rhode Island have not yet confirmed when the E-Verify requirement will take effect.
E-Verify is an Internet-based system administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) with the Social Security Administration (SSA). E-Verify provides access to federal databases to help employers determine employment eligibility of new hires and the validity of their Social Security numbers.
