After you print the Further Action Notice in the E‑Verify process, you must review it privately with the employee and give them a copy, then follow the case instructions in E‑Verify.

What you must do next

  • Review the Further Action Notice in private with the employee and confirm that all the biographical information on the notice is correct.
  • Ask the employee whether they choose to contest or not contest the Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC), and have them sign the notice.
  • Give the employee a copy of the signed Further Action Notice and keep the original with the employee’s Form I‑9 for your records.
  • Log in to E‑Verify and, based on the employee’s choice, either refer the case to DHS/SSA (if they contest) or close the case (if they do not contest).

Why these steps matter

  • Employers must act on a TNC and provide the Further Action Notice to the employee within a limited time (generally within 10 federal working days), and cannot take adverse action while the case is pending.
  • The notice and discussion ensure the employee understands their rights, the reason for the TNC, and what they must do to resolve it with DHS or SSA.
