If you believe an employer has violated E-Verify program rules, discriminated against you or treated you unfairly, we encourage you to report it. You may be able to receive pay for work you lost and even get your job back. Also, the employer may have to pay fines for violating E-Verify rules.
To report employer misuse, privacy violations, and general E-Verify program complaints, contact the E-Verify Employee Hotline. We can also answer questions about E-Verify policies and procedures, Form I-9, and employment eligibility. We are available Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Eastern), except when the federal government is closed. For users who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf/blind, or have speech disabilities which require accommodation, our TTY phone is available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. E.T.
To report employment discrimination based upon your citizenship, immigration status, or national origin, or other misuse of E-Verify, contact the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER).
You may also file a formal charge against an employer with the IER. For more information, visit the IER web page.
