PEOs assist employers with EEV - Basic Pilot Program

8/7/2007

Professional Employer Organizations are gearing up for assisting their clients with compliance for the new Employment Eligibility Verification Program (EEV)/Basic Pilot. EEV – Basic Pilot is and internet based system run by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to help employers determine the employment eligibility stats for new hires and confirms the validity of their social security numbers. Since compliance with employment law is one of the core services of a PEO, many PEOs are reviewing the rules being established by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service and various state bodies for compliance. Currently there is no federal requirement for participation in the program however many states are considering requiring employers to use the system or risk fines and other actions from the state. Arizona has legislation pending as of July 2007. According to the USCIC web site employers and PEOs who use the Basic Pilot program will be deemed to have “established a rebuttable presumption that it has not knowingly hired an unauthorized alien”.
