When you receive an E‑Verify case result of Employment Authorized , your next step is to document and close out the verification properly, not just walk away from it.

Direct answer

For the question:

“When you receive a case result of Employment Authorized, your next step is to do which of the following?”

The expected answer is:

Record the E‑Verify case number on the employee’s Form I‑9 or attach a copy of the case details page to the Form I‑9.

Some training materials also emphasize that the employer should then close the case in E‑Verify once Employment Authorized is received, after confirming the information matches the Form I‑9.

Quick Scoop

  • The case result Employment Authorized means the worker’s eligibility has been confirmed through E‑Verify.
  • However, the process is not fully “done” until:
    • You document the result with the Form I‑9 (by recording the case number or attaching the case details page).
* You **close the case** in the E‑Verify system, where required by the employer manual.
  • Options like “do nothing,” “send to DHS/SSA,” or “decide if the employee will take action” apply to Tentative Nonconfirmation or other problem results, not to Employment Authorized.

Why this is the correct next step

Training and homework resources that use this exact multiple‑choice question consistently identify the “record the E‑Verify case number on the employee’s Form I‑9 or attach a copy of the case details page to the Form I‑9” option as the correct next step after an Employment Authorized result.

Official E‑Verify user guidance explains that once a case shows Employment Authorized, the employer should:

  • Verify that the information in E‑Verify matches the employee’s Form I‑9.
  • Close the case and keep proper documentation with the Form I‑9.

This ensures that if the employer is audited later, there is a clear paper trail showing that electronic verification was completed and properly tied to that employee’s Form I‑9.

Forum / “latest news” angle

In online discussions and homework‑help style forums, this specific question appears as a common quiz or compliance‑training item for people learning E‑Verify procedures. The pattern across those threads is:

“Employment Authorized” = everything checked out →
✅ Document on Form I‑9 (case number or case details page) →
✅ Close the case in the system.

Options that say “do nothing” or “let DHS/SSA continue verification” get marked incorrect because they describe what happens with mismatches (TNC cases), not with a clean authorization.

TL;DR

After you receive a case result of Employment Authorized , you should:

  1. Record the E‑Verify case number on the employee’s Form I‑9 or attach the case details page to the I‑9 , and
  2. Close the case in E‑Verify once you confirm the information matches the I‑9.

That is the “next step” answer those multiple‑choice questions are testing.
