MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
FOR EMPLOYERS USING A WEB SERVICES E-VERIFY EMPLOYER AGENT
ARTICLE I
PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY
The parties to this agreement are the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the SNF Holding
Company (Employer), and the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent. The purpose of this agreement is to set forth
terms and conditions which the Employer and the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent will follow while
participating in E-Verify.
E-Verify is a program that electronically confirms an employee's eligibility to work in the United States after
completion of Form 1-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form 1-9). This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
explains certain features of the E-Verify program and describes specific responsibilities of the Employer, the E-Verify
Employer Agent, the Social Security Administration (SSA), and DHS.
References in this MOU to the Employer include the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent when acting on behalf of
the Employer.
For purposes of this MOU, the E-Verify browser refers to the website that provides direct access to the E-Verify
system: https://e-verify.uscis.gov/emp. You may access E-Verify directly free of charge via the E-Verify browser.
Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A, of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant
Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Pub. L. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009, as amended (8 U.S.C. Section 1324a note). The
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 22.18, "Employment Eligibility Verification" and Executive Order
12989, as amended, provide authority for Federal contractors and subcontractors (Federal contractor) to use E-
Verify to verify the employment eligibility of certain employees working on Federal contracts.
ARTICLE 11
RESPONSIBILITIES
A. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER
1. For purposes of this MOU, references to the Employer include the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent
when acting on behalf of the Employer.
2. By enrolling in E-Verify and signing the applicable MOU, the Employer asserts that it is a legitimate company
which intends to use E-Verify for legitimate purposes only and in accordance with the laws, regulations and
DHS policies and procedures relating to the use of E-Verify.
3. The Employer agrees to display the following notices supplied by DHS (though the Web Services E-Verify
Employer Agent) in a prominent place that is clearly visible to prospective employees and all employees
who are to be verified through the system:
A. Notice of E-Verify Participation
B. Notice of Right to Work
4. The Employer agrees to provide to the SSA and DHS the names, titles, addresses, and telephone numbers of
the Employer representatives to be contacted about E-Verify. The Employer also agrees to keep such
information current by providing updated information to SSA and DHS whenever the representatives'
contact information changes.
5. The Employer agrees to become familiar with and comply with the most recent version of theE-Verify User
Manual. The Employer will obtain the E-Verify User Manual from the Web ServicesE-Verify Employer Agent,
and will be notified by the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent when a new version of the E-Verify User
Manual becomes available.
6. The Employer agrees to comply with current Form 1-9 procedures, with two exceptions:
A. If an employee presents a "List B" identity document, the Employer agrees to only accept "List B"
documents that contain a photo. (List B documents identified in 8 C.F.R. 274a.2(b)(1)(B)) can be

presented during the Form 1-9 process to establish identity.) If an employee objects to the photo
requirement for religious reasons, the Employer should contact E-Verify at 888-464-4218.
If an employee presents a DHS Form 1-551 (Permanent Resident Card), Form 1-766 (Employment
Authorization Document), or U.S. Passport or Passport Card to complete Form 1-9, the Employer
agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the employee's Form
1-9. The Employer will use the photocopy to verify the photo and to assist DHS with its review of
photo mismatches that employees contest. DHS may in the future designate other documents that
activate the photo screening tool.
Note: Subject only to the exceptions noted previously in this paragraph, employees still retain the right to
present any List A, or List B and List C, document(s) to complete the Form 1-9.
7. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form 1-9 or to print the
screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form 1-9.
8. The Employer agrees that, although it participates in E-Verify, the Employer has a responsibility to
complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms 1-9 that relate to its employees, or from other
requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the antidiscrimination
requirements of section 274E of the INA with respect to Form 1-9 procedures.
A. The following modified requirements are the only exceptions to an Employer's obligation to not
employ unauthorized workers and comply with the anti -discrimination provision of the INA: (1) List B
identity documents must have photos, as described in paragraph 6 above; (2) When an Employer
confirms the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employee using E-Verify procedures,
the Employer establishes a rebuttable presumption that it has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with respect to the hiring of that employee; (3) If the
Employer receives a final nonconfirmation for an employee, but continues to employ that person,
the Employer must notify DHS and the Employer is subject to a civil money penalty between $550
and $1,100 for each failure to notify DHS of continued employment following a final
nonconfirmation; (4) If the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final
nonconfirmation, then the Employer is subject to a rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly
employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1)(A); and (5) no E-Verify participant
is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information
provided through the E-Verify.
B. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form 1-9 compliance inspections, as well as any other
enforcement or compliance activity authorized by law, including site visits, to ensure proper use of
E-Verify.
9. The Employer is strictly prohibited from creating an E-Verify case before the employee has been hired,
meaning that a firm offer of employment was extended and accepted and Form 1-9 was completed. The
Employer agrees to create an E-Verify case for new employees within three Employer business days after
each employee has been hired (after both Sections 1 and 2 of Form 1-9 have been completed), and to
complete as many steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the E-Verify User Manual. If E-
Verify is temporarily unavailable, the three-day time period will be extended until it is again operational in
order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make inquiries during the period of
unavailability.
10. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify for pre -employment screening of job applicants, in support of any
unlawful employment practice, or for any other use that this MOU or the E-Verify User Manual does not
authorize.
11. The Employer must use E-Verify (through its Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent) for all new employees.
The Employer will not verify selectively and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this
MOU. Employers who are Federal contractors may qualify for exceptions to this requirement as described in
Article 11.13 of this MOU.
12. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III below) regarding tentative
nonconfirmations. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding and provide them
with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee's E-Verify case. The Employer
agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with limited English
proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written referral instructions to employees and
instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter to the SSA. The Employer must allow
employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees if they choose to contest
the finding, while their case is still pending. Further, when employees contest a tentative nonconfirmation
based upon a photo mismatch, the Employer must take additional steps (see Article 111.13 below) to contact
DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge.
13. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the employee's

3. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to provide to SSA and/or DHS the names, titles,
addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers of the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent
representative who will access information, as well as ensure cooperation, communication, and coordination
with E-Verify. In addition, Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents must provide to SSA and/or DHS the

through E-Verify. Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents must ensure the contact information is updated
with SSA and DHS whenever the points of contact change.
4. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to become familiar with and comply with theE-Verify User
Manual and provide a copy of the most current version of the manual to the Employer so that the Employer
can become familiar with and comply with E-Verify policy and procedures. The Web Services E-Verify
Employer Agent agrees to obtain a revised E-Verify User Manual as it becomes available and to provide a
copy of the revised version to the Employer no later than 30 days after the manual becomes available.
5. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that any person accessing E-Verify on its behalf is trained
on the most recent E-Verify policy and procedures.
6. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that any of its representatives who will perform
employment verification cases will complete the E-Verify Tutorial before that individual initiates any cases.
A. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that all of its representatives will take the
refresher tutorials initiated by E-Verify as a condition of continued use of E-Verify, including any
tutorials for Federal contractors, if any of the Employers represented by the Web Services E-Verify
Employer Agent is a Federal contractor.
B. Failure to complete a refresher tutorial will prevent the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent and
Employer from continued use of E-Verify.
7. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to grant E-Verify access only to current employees who

Article II.B.2 below.
12. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to create E-Verify cases for the Employer it represents in
accordance with the E-Verify Manual, the E-Verify Web -Based Tutorial and all other published E-Verify rules
and procedures. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent will createE-Verify cases using information
provided by the Employer and will immediately communicate the response back to the Employer. If E-Verify
is temporarily unavailable, the three-day time period will be extended until it is again operational in order to
accommodate the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent's attempting, in good faith, to make inquiries on
behalf of the Employer during the period of unavailability. If, however, the Web Services interface is
unavailable due to no fault of E-Verify, then the three-day time period is not extended. In such a case, the

Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent must use the E-Verify browser during the outage.
13. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to ensure that all notices, referral letters and any other
materials otherwise including instructions regarding tentative nonconfirmations, will be consistent with the
most current E-Verify tentative nonconfirmation notices and referral letters, which are available on E-Verify's
website.
14. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that any system or interface it develops will follow the
steps for creating E-Verify cases and processing tentative nonconfirmations, as laid out in the ICA, this MOU
and the User Manual, including but not limited to allowing an employer to close an invalid case where
appropriate, allowing an employer to refer a tentative nonconfirmation only when an employee chooses to
contest a tentative nonconfirmation (no automatic referrals), and referring a tentative nonconfirmation to
the appropriate agency at the time the employer prints the referral letter and provides the letter to the
employee. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent understands that any failure to make its system or
interface consistent with proper E-Verify procedures can result in DHS terminating the Web Services E-Verify
Employer Agent's agreement and access with or without notice.
15. When the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent receives notice from a client company that it has received
a contract with the FAR clause, then the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent must update the company's

18. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to fully cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance
monitoring and evaluation of E-Verify, including permitting DHS, SSA, their contractors and other agents,
upon reasonable notice, to review Forms 1-9, employment records, and all records pertaining to the Web
Services E-Verify Employer Agent's use of E-Verify, and to interview it and its employees regarding the use
of E-Verify, and to respond in a timely and accurate manner to DHS requests for information relating to their
participation in E-Verify.
A. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to cooperate with DHS if DHS requests
information about the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent's interface, including requests by DHS
to view the actual interface operated by the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent as well as
related business documents. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to demonstrate for
DHS the functionality of its interface to E-Verify upon request.
B. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to demonstrate, if requested by DHS, that it has
provided training to its clients that meets E-Verify standards. Training programs must provide a
focused study of the topics covered in the E-Verify User Manual and pertinent Supplemental Guides.
Furthermore, training programs and materials must be updated as E-Verify changes occur. The Web
Services E-Verify Employer Agent is encouraged to incorporate information from existing E-Verify
materials, including the Enrollment Quick Reference Guide, the E-Verify Employer Agent Client
Handbook (formerly known as the Designated Agent Client Handbook), and existing tutorials and
manuals into their training program. E-Verify also encourages the Web Services E-Verify Employer
Agent to supervise first-time use of the E-Verify browser or Web Services interface by its staff and
Employer clients as part of any training program. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees
to submit its training program materials to DHS for review upon request.

about its participation in E-Verify on its website, in advertising materials, or other media. The Web Services
E-Verify Employer Agent shall not describe its services as federally -approved, federally -certified, or
federally -recognized, or use language with a similar intent on its website or other materials provided to the
public. Entering into this MOU does not mean that E-Verify endorses or authorizes your Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent services and any claim to that effect is false.
20. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent shall not state in its website or other public documents that any
language used therein has been provided or approved by DHS, USCIS or the Verification Division, without
first obtaining the prior written consent of DHS.
21. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that E-Verify trademarks and logos may be used only

under license by DHS/USCIS (see ) and, other than pursuant to the specific terms of such license, may not
be used in any manner that might imply that the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent's services, products,
websites, or publications are sponsored by, endorsed by, licensed by, or affiliated with DHS, USCIS, or E-
Verify.
22. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent understands that if it uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose
other than as authorized by this MOU, the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent may be subject to
appropriate legal action and termination of its participation in E-Verify according to this MOU.
C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent shall ensure that the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent and the
Employers it represents carry out the following responsibilities if the Employer is a Federal contractor or becomes a
federal contractor. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent should instruct the client to keep the Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent informed about any changes or updates related to federal contracts. It is the Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent's responsibility to ensure that its clients are in compliance with all E-Verify policies and
procedures.
1. If the Employer is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause subject to the employment verification
terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR, it will become familiar with and comply with the most current version of
the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors as well as the E-Verify Supplemental Guide for Federal
Contractors.
2. In addition to the responsibilities of every employer outlined in this MOU, the Employer understands that if it
is a Federal contractor subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR it must
verify the employment eligibility of any "employee assigned to the contract" (as defined in FAR 22.1801).
Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer, the Employer may not reverify the
employee through E-Verify.
A. An Employer that is not enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor at the time of a contract award
must enroll as a Federal contractor in the E-Verify program within 30 calendar days of contract
award and, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to verify employment eligibility of new hires using E-
Verify. The Employer must verify those employees who are working in the United States, whether or
not they are assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires, such
verification of new hires must be initiated within three business days after the hire date. Once
enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor, the Employer must begin verification of employees
assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee's assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
B. Employers enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor for 90 days or more at the time of a contract
award must use E-Verify to begin verification of employment eligibility for new hires of the Employer
who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract, within three business
days after the date of hire. If the Employer is enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor for 90
calendar days or less at the time of contract award, the Employer must, within 90 days of
enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of new hires of the contractor who are
working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Such verification of new hires
must be initiated within three business days after the date of hire. An Employer enrolled as a
Federal contractor in E-Verify must begin verification of each employee assigned to the contract
within 90 calendar days after date of contract award or within 30 days after assignment to the
contract, whichever is later.
C. Federal contractors that are institutions of higher education (as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a)), state
or local governments, governments of Federally recognized Indian tribes, or sureties performing
under a takeover agreement entered into with a Federal agency under a performance bond may
choose to only verify new and existing employees assigned to the Federal contract. Such Federal
contractors may, however, elect to verify all new hires, and/or all existing employees hired after
November 6, 1986. Employers in this category must begin verification of employees assigned to the
contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an employee's
assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
D. Upon enrollment, Employers who are Federal contractors may elect to verify employment eligibility
of all existing employees working in the United States who were hired after November 6, 1986,
instead of verifying only those employees assigned to a covered Federal contract. After enrollment,
Employers must elect to verify existing staff following DHS procedures and begin E-Verify
verification of all existing employees within 180 days after the election.
E. The Employer may use a previously completed Form 1-9 as the basis for creating an E-Verify case for
an employee assigned to a contract as long as:
i. That Form 1-9 is complete (including the SSN) and complies with Article II.A.6,
Page 6 of 17 1 E-Verify MOU for Employers Using a Web Services Employer Agent I Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:32855 Client Company ID Number:385743
ii. The employee's work authorization has not expired, and
iii. The Employer has reviewed the information reflected in the Form 1-9 either in person or in
communications with the employee to ensure that the employee's Section 1, Form 1-9
attestation has not changed (including, but not limited to, a lawful permanent resident alien
having become a naturalized U.S. citizen).
F. The Employer shall complete a new Form 1-9 consistent with Article II.A.6 or update the previous
Form 1-9 to provide the necessary information if:
i. The Employer cannot determine that Form 1-9 complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee's basis for work authorization as attested in Section 1 has expired or changed,
or
iii. The Form 1-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete.
Note: If Section 1 of Form 1-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise
complies with Article II.C.5, but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form I-
551) that expired after completing Form 1-9, the Employer shall not require the production of
additional documentation, or use the photo screening tool described in Article II.A.5, subject
to any additional or superseding instructions that may be provided on this subject in the E-
Verify User Manual.
G. The Employer agrees not to require a second verification using E-Verify of any assigned employee
who has previously been verified as a newly hired employee under this MOU or to authorize
verification of any existing employee by any Employer that is not a Federal contractor based on this
Article.
3. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, its compliance with this MOU is a performance
requirement under the terms of the Federal contract or subcontract, and the Employer consents to the
release of information relating to compliance with its verification responsibilities under this MOU to
contracting officers or other officials authorized to review the Employer's compliance with Federal
contracting requirements.
D. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA
1. SSA agrees to allow DHS to compare data provided by the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent)
against SSA's database. SSA sends DHS confirmation that the data sent either matches or does not match
the information in SSA's database.
2. SSA agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides (through the E-Verify Employer Agent)
through E-Verify procedures. SSA also agrees to limit access to such information, as is appropriate by law, to
individuals responsible for the verification of Social Security numbers or responsible for evaluation of E-
Verify or such other persons or entities who may be authorized by SSA as governed by the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. Section 552a), the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and SSA regulations (20 CFR Part 401).
3. SSA agrees to provide case results from its database within three Federal Government work days of the
initial inquiry. E-Verify provides the information to the E-Verify Employer Agent.
4. SSA agrees to update SSA records as necessary if the employee who contests the SSA tentative
nonconfirmation visits an SSA field office and provides the required evidence. If the employee visits an SSA
field office within the eight Federal Government work days from the date of referral to SSA, SSA agrees to
update SSA records, if appropriate, within the eight -day period unless SSA determines that more than eight
days may be necessary. In such cases, SSA will provide additional instructions to the employee. If the
employee does not visit SSA in the time allowed, E-Verify may provide a final nonconfirmation to the E-Verify
Employer Agent.
Note: If an Employer experiences technical problems, or has a policy question, the employer should contact
E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218.
E. RESPONSIBILITIES OF DHS
1. DHS agrees to provide the Employer with selected data from DHS databases to enable the Employer
(through the E-Verify Employer Agent) to conduct, to the extent authorized by this MOU:
A. Automated verification checks on alien employees by electronic means, and
B. Photo verification checks (when available) on employees.
2. DHS agrees to assist the E-Verify Employer Agent with operational problems associated with its participation
in E-Verify. DHS agrees to provide the E-Verify Employer Agent names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of DHS representatives to be contacted during the E-Verify process.

3. DHS agrees to provide to the E-Verify Employer Agent with access to E-Verify training materials as well as
an E-Verify User Manual that contain instructions on E-Verify policies, procedures, and requirements for both
SSA and DHS, including restrictions on the use of E-Verify.
4. DHS agrees to train E-Verify Employer Agents on all important changes made to E-Verify through the use of
mandatory refresher tutorials and updates to the E-Verify User Manual. Even without changes to E-Verify,
DHS reserves the right to require E-Verify Employer Agents to take mandatory refresher tutorials.
5. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent) a notice, which indicates the
Employer's participation in E-Verify. DHS also agrees to provide to the Employer anti -discrimination notices
issued by the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration -Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC), Civil
Rights Division, U.S. Department of justice.
6. DHS agrees to issue each of the E-Verify Employer Agent's E-Verify users a unique user identification
number and password that permits them to log in to E-Verify.
7. DHS agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides (through the E-Verify Employer Agent), and
to limit access to such information to individuals responsible for the verification process, for evaluation of E-
Verify, or to such other persons or entities as may be authorized by applicable law. Information will be used
only to verify the accuracy of Social Security numbers and employment eligibility, to enforce the INA and
Federal criminal laws, and to administer Federal contracting requirements.
8. DHS agrees to provide a means of automated verification that provides (in conjunction with SSA verification
procedures) confirmation or tentative nonconfirmation of employees' employment eligibility within three
Federal Government work days of the initial inquiry.
9. DHS agrees to provide a means of secondary verification (including updating DHS records) for employees
who contest DHS tentative nonconfirmations and photo mismatch tentative nonconfirmations. This provides
final confirmation or nonconfirmation of the employees' employment eligibility within 10 Federal
Government work days of the date of referral to DHS, unless DHS determines that more than 10 days may
be necessary. In such cases, DHS will provide additional verification instructions.
ARTICLE III

B. INFORMATION SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents performing verification services under this MOU must ensure that
information that is shared between the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent and DHS is appropriately protected
comparable to the protection provided when the information is within the DHS environment [OMB Circular A-130
Appendix III].
To achieve this level of information security, the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to institute the
following procedures:
1. Conduct periodic assessments of risk, including the magnitude of harm that could result from the
unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of information and information
systems that support the operations and assets of the DHS, SSA, and the Web Services E-Verify Employer
Agent and its clients;
2. Develop policies and procedures that are based on risk assessments, cost-effectively reduce information
security risks to an acceptable level, and ensure that information security is addressed throughout the life
cycle of each organizational information system;
3. Implement subordinate plans for providing adequate information security for networks, facilities, information
systems, or groups of information systems, as appropriate;
4. Conduct security awareness training to inform the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent's personnel
(including contractors and other users of information systems that support the operations and assets of the
organization) of the information security risks associated with their activities and their responsibilities in
complying with organizational policies and procedures designed to reduce these risks;
5. Develop periodic testing and evaluation of the effectiveness of information security policies, procedures,
practices, and security controls to be performed with a frequency depending on risk, but no less than once
per year;
6. Develop a process for planning, implementing, evaluating, and documenting remedial actions to address
any deficiencies in the information security policies, procedures, and practices of the organization;
7. Implement procedures for detecting, reporting, and responding to security incidents;
8. Create plans and procedures to ensure continuity of operations for information systems that support the
operations and assets of the organization;

appropriate use and protection of the subject information and retains that responsibility even when the
information is shared with or provided to other organizations [NIST SP 800-37].
10. DHS reserves the right to restrict Web Services calls from certain IP addresses.
11. DHS reserves the right to audit the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent's application.
12. Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents and Software Developers agree to cooperate willingly with the DHS
assessment of information security and privacy practices used by the company to develop and maintain the
Page 10 of 17 1 E-Verify MOU for Employers Using a Web Services Employer Agent I Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:32855 Client Company ID Number:385743
software.
C. DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS
1. Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents must practice proper Internet security; this means using HTTP over
SSL/TLS (also known as HTTPS) when accessing DHS information resources such as E-Verify [NIST SP 800-
951. Internet security practices like this are necessary because Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), which
provides a basic messaging framework on which Web Services can be built, allows messages to be viewed
or modified by attackers as messages traverse the Internet and is not independently designed with all the
necessary security protocols for E-Verify use.
2. In accordance with DHS standards, the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards to appropriately protect the information shared under this MOU
against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, and improper disclosure, copying use, modification or
deletion.
3. Any data transmission requiring encryption shall comply with the following standards:
A. Products using FIPS 197 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithms with at least 256-bit
encryption that has been validated under FIPS 140-2.
B. NSA Type 2 or Type 1 encryption.
4. User ID Management (Set Standard): All information exchanged between the parties under this MOU will be
done only through authorized Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent representatives identified above.
5. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to use the E-Verify browser instead of its own interface if

MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
A. MODIFICATION
1. This MOU is effective upon the signature of all parties and shall continue in effect for as long as the SSA and
DHS operates the E-Verify program unless modified in writing by the mutual consent of all parties.
2. Any and all E-Verify system enhancements by DHS or SSA, including but not limited to E-Verify checking
against additional data sources and instituting new verification policies or procedures, will be covered under
this MOU and will not cause the need for a supplemental MOU that outlines these changes.
B. TERMINATION
1. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any
time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other parties. In addition, any Employer represented by the

notice. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent may not refuse to terminate the Employer based upon an
outstanding bill for verification services.
2. Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate this MOU, and thereby the Web Services
E-Verify Employer Agent's participation in E-Verify, with or without notice at any time if deemed necessary
because of the requirements of law or policy, or upon a determination by SSA or DHS that there has been a
breach of system integrity or security by the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent or Employer, or a failure
on the part of either party to comply with established E-Verify procedures and/or legal requirements. The
Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, termination of this MOU by any party for any reason

MOU when the Federal contract that requires its participation in E-Verify is terminated or completed. In such
cases, the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent must provide written notice to DHS. If the Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent fails to provide such notice, then that Employer will remain an E-Verify participant,
will remain bound by the terms of this MOU that apply to non -Federal contractor participants, and will be
required to use the E-Verify procedures to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees.
4. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that E-Verify is not liable for any losses, financial or
otherwise, if the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent or the Employer is terminated from E-Verify.
