Mandatory E-Verify for Federal Contractors Delayed Again
Former President Bush first signed an executive order in November 2008, requiring companies that have contracts with the federal government to run new employees through E-Verify. It was originally set to go into effect on Jan. 19, but he agreed to delay the effective date to Feb. 20, pending the outcome of a lawsuit.
The Obama Administration delayed the effective date for a second time at the end of January, moving the date to May 21. Today's order extends that delay for another six weeks to June 30.
