There are many other columns you can add or remove from this page that can also help you track and manage your requests.| Column | Data | Description |
| Current State | This column provides a current state for cases opened with the application that are either new or in progress. | |
| Referred | The employee’s case is mostly complete and has been referred to DHS and SSA. | |
| Closed | The employee’s case was manually closed by the Admin. Can be closed automatically if status is Employment Authorized. | |
| Unconfirmed Data | The employee’s case contains unconfirmed data. This will only appear if your E-Verify configuration allows users to proceed without the I9 data being confirmed. | |
| Pending Referral | The employee’s case goes into Pending status when the user clicks the Save Draft button. This means not all required elements of the case have been completed. | |
| Draft | The employee’s case was saved by the user during its creation, which puts it into Draft status. | |
| Status | This column provides a status for cases submitted to and being processed by E-Verify. | |
| Employment Authorized | The employee's information was verified by SSA and DHS. The case auto closes, and no action is required. Case is closed automatically. | |
| SSA Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) | A case receives this status when the information entered in E-Verify does not match SSA records or data available to DHS. A TNC does not necessarily mean that the employee is not authorized to work in the United States. Action must be taken to resolve the issue. 1. Print the English version of the Further Action Notice from E- Verify; 2. Inform the employee of the TNC result in private; 3. Allow the employee the option to take action on the TNC; 4. Provide a copy of the signed Further Action Notice in English for the employee; and 5. Print and provide the employee with the Referral Date Confirmation if they decide to take action on the TNC. | |
| Employee Referred to SSA | Your case is referred to the Social Security Administration (SSA). If employees would like to resolve the case, they must visit an SSA field office within 8 Federal Government working days of the date the case was referred to begin resolving the Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC). Employers should provide employees with the Further Action Notice and the Referral Date Confirmation from E-Verify. The SSA TNC Further Action Notice includes information about the employee’s E-Verify case and which documents are needed when the employee visits SSA. The Referral Date Confirmation provides the date by which the employee must visit SSA. To resolve the TNC, the employee must bring the SSA TNC Further Action Notice when visiting an SSA field office. Federal Government working days are Monday through Friday except for federal holidays. | |
| Final Nonconfirmation | Employees are not authorized to work. A case receives this status when E-Verify cannot confirm an employee’s eligibility. This could be due to the employee not contacting the agency to resolve discrepancies during the 8 federal government working days due date, calculated from when the case was submitted. The case must be closed. | |
| Case Incomplete | The employee has not yet taken necessary action on the case. There is unconfirmed data. | |
| Employment Authorization Not Confirmed | E-Verify cannot confirm employee is authorized to work in the United States at this time. | |
| Continuance | The SSA may provide an estimated resolution date for an SSA Case in Continuance. If an estimated resolution date is not provided by E-Verify, the case will display a status of Pending. You may also be given an updated date, should the estimated resolution date change. | |
| No Show | Employee failed to contact the government within the provided timeframe (equivalent to a Final Nonconfirmation.) | |
| Form I9: Status | This column shows the status of the I9 form being used in the E- Verify case. | |
