E-Verify Employer Portal Update: Status Change Reports and I-9 Compliance

E-Verify Updates

August 2025

On June 20, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rolled out a new E-Verify notification tool for employers called the “Status Change Report.” DHS will proactively provide these reports to E-Verify registered employers to notify employers of their employees whose employment authorization is potentially ending or has been revoked. Employers should make sure they are carefully monitoring for these “Status Change Reports” as we are seeing increased employment authorization revocations due to the Trump administration’s termination of TPS programs and humanitarian parole programs.

Where can I find the Status Change Report?

These reports are only being issued to E-Verify enrolled employers. DHS sends these E-Verify report notifications as an email to employers. These reports are also available in the employer’s E-Verify portal under the “Reports” tab. If an employee appears on an employer’s Status Change Report, the employee may be facing an employment authorization expiration or termination and the employer should complete an I-9 reverification using Form I-9 Supplement B. Employers should check the E-Verify portal regularly to monitor their Status Change Reports.

What should an E-Verify employer do if they receive a Status Change Report?

If an employer finds a “Status Change Report” in their E-Verify portal, they should make efforts to reverify any listed employees using Form I-9 Supplement B within a reasonable period. DHS has not defined what this reasonable period is, and given this ambiguity and the more aggressive approach of immigration enforcement under the current Administration, we recommend that employers act to reverify any employee(s) listed on the Report as quickly as possible to minimize liability. E-Verify provides additional guidance on next steps here.

E-Verify employers should proceed as conservatively as possible with respect to E-Verify Status Change Reports. Under compliance regulations, either an employer’s actual knowledge or constructive knowledge that an employee’s work authorization has ended could result in civil and criminal liability and penalties. We expect that DHS will consider these Status Change Report emails as a form of constructive notice to the employer that their employee may no longer have valid employment authorization. Because of this, employers should make sure that they regularly monitor their emails and E-Verify portal for these reports, and reverify any listed employees as soon as reasonably practicable. 

Parker Gallini also recommends that employers establish internal processes and procedures for checking the E-Verify portal for Status Change Reports, and reverifying I-9s for any employees identified in these reports, to minimize their overall liability.
