New E-Verify tool helps employers identify employees whose work authorization may have been revoked by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) has rolled out a new reporting tool to assist Employers who participate in E-Verify in identifying cases where certain employees’ work authorization may have been revoked by the federal government. DHS is continuing to exercise its authority to revoke Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for certain aliens whose humanitarian parole or temporary protected status has been terminated. These revocations may be on a case-by-case basis or may be for groups, such as aliens paroled into the United States through Uniting For Ukraine or the parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (CHNV).
Employers may have one or more employees whose EAD was revoked by DHS. DHS recently developed a new reporting tool to help companies identify if any of their E-Verify cases were created with an EAD that has since been revoked. It is not clear at this time if this new E-Verify tool is reporting every case where an EAD was subsequently revoked.
Here are the Top Five Things to Know about this new development:
- On June 20, 2025, DHS announced the development of a new “Status Change Report” to help employers identify E-Verify cases created with an EAD that has since been revoked. DHS also launched a new webpage, EAD Revocation Guide for E-Verify Employers.
- Previously, E-Verify sent case alerts directly to employers where an EAD had been revoked. These Case Alerts will no longer be issued. Instead, DHS is now calling on employers to generate the new “Status Change Report” on a regular basis to identify these cases. E-Verify will continue to provide case alerts for documents that are expiring on schedule according to the work authorization document provided by the employee.
- The new “Status Change Report” allows E-Verify employers to review their account for employees who presented an EAD for employment verification which was subsequently revoked by DHS. The report contains the date the document was revoked, the case number, and A number.
- To access the “Status Change Report,” employers should login to E-Verify and generate the “Status Change Report.” To access the report, click on the “Report” tab and the top of the homepage and select the new “Status Change Report.” If your company uses an Employer Agent for E-Verify, contact your Employer Agent and request to generate the report.
- Employers should regularly generate the “Status Change Report” and follow-up on all cases indicating the EAD has been revoked.
- Keep in mind that the employee may still be employment authorized based on another status or provision of law and may provide other acceptable Form I-9 documentation to demonstrate employment authorization.
- Use Form I-9, Supplement B to immediately reverify each current employee whose EAD the “Status Change Report” indicated was revoked, and reverify. The employee must provide unexpired documents from List A or List C of Acceptable Documents. You must allow employees to choose which acceptable documents to present for reverification. You may not accept the now-revoked EAD, based on the Status Change Report, even if the EAD appears unexpired.
- Do not create a new E-Verify case.
- Employees whose EAD was revoked may or may not receive an individual revocation notice from the Department of Homeland Security.
As a general reminder, the Immigration and Nationality Act prohibits employers from treating individuals differently on the basis of national origin, citizenship, or immigration status in the Form I-9 or E-Verify processes. This includes reverifying cases on Form I-9 with case alerts for employees whose EAD was revoked. You may not:
- Request that an employee produce more or different documents than are required by the I-9 regulations to establish identity and employment authorization;
- Require affected employees to show the same type of document they presented previously or require that someone present a particular document; or
- Reject documents that reasonably appear to be genuine and to relate to the person presenting them.
