Employers using E-Verify may mistakenly believe that once a record is created, it will be stored forever in the E-Verify system. Effective January 1, 2016, E-Verify transaction records more than 10 years old will automatically be deleted from the E-Verify system. That means that employers will no longer have access in E-Verify to cases created prior to December 31, 2005. This action is being taken to comply with the National Archives and Records Administration’s retention and disposal schedule.
