Abstract: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to conduct the most recent in a series of evaluations of employment verification programs referred to as the Study of Employment Eligibility (SEE). The original evaluations of pilot employment verification programs were mandated in Title IV of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), which required the legacy Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to establish three pilot employment verification programs. The current E Verify Program has built upon these evaluations, assessing changes to the program, and continuing to determine the extent to which program goals were met.
