Reminder: Clients Must Close Finalized or Unnecessary E-Verify Cases

COVID-19 delays previously kept Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) cases from being completed due to Social Security Administration (SSA) offices being closed. E-Verify has recently begun updating some referred TNC cases with final responses.


E-Verify would like to remind employers that they are required to close every case in a timely fashion.

Cases that must be manually closed include those that were:

  • Recently updated with final responses;
  • Created in error;
  • Created with incorrect information;
  • Created for employees who are no longer employed; or
  • Incomplete.

Cases that cannot be closed until final case results are issued include cases in a status of "Referred," "Verification in Process," or "Case in Continuance." Clients are required to check such cases often for results.

E-Verify will automatically close cases that receive a result of Employment Authorized.

Additional information and guidance on closing cases can be found in the E-Verify Quick Reference Guide for Employers as well as the E-Verify User Manual Section 4.1.
