The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on October 1, 2013 that E-Verify will be unavailable during the federal government shutdown. Employers will be unable to access their E-Verify accounts, and E-Verify customer support and related services will be closed. This means that employers will be unable to run new hires or take any other action in E-Verify so long as the government shutdown continues.
