NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Lakeville, MN, United States, 02/16/2009 - Verified Credentials, the leader in background screening since 1984, announced today the nationwide availability of their web-based Electronic I-9 Verification solution, enabling employers to verify the work eligibility of newly hired employees.

Verified Credentials, Inc., the leader in background screening since 1984, announced today the nationwide availability of their web-based Electronic I-9 Verification solution, enabling employers to verify the work eligibility of newly hired employees through E-Verify. The E-Verify system is operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and allows employers to validate a newly hired employee’s employment eligibility with the DHS and Social Security Administration databases.

As a Certified Designated Agent for E-Verify, Verified Credentials (verifiedcredentials.com) can now submit queries to government databases, providing employers with an easier, more efficient way to electronically administer post-hire employment eligibility verifications within the Verification Management System.

Employers are able to use E-Verify’s databases to confirm the validity of information from an employee’s Form I-9, including the Social Security number, work visa authorization, I-94 arrival and departure numbers, and Immigration “A” number. In addition, Verified Credentials simplifies I-9 management for employers through:

• Easy online submission process;
• Email notices and instructions when follow-up action is required by the employer;
• Paperless storage of results and communications;
• Real-time status updates.

“The Electronic I-9 Verification expands Verified Credentials’ services beyond employment background screening to help employers consolidate human resources processes and records,” said Kevin Spang, CEO of Verified Credentials. “As state and federal regulations continue to expand, the process we have defined for our new Electronic I-9 Verification will not only help employers meet these E-Verify regulations, but also streamline and simplify the process.”
