Employers Beware: E-Verify No Longer Flags Revoked Work Authorization Automatically
Think your E-Verify alerts have you covered? Think again. New U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) guidance quietly shifts the burden onto employers to catch revoked work authorizations. As of June 23, 2025, E-Verify will no longer issue automatic Case Alerts when an employee’s Employment Authorization Document (“EAD”) is revoked due to the termination of Temporary Protected Status (“TPS”), humanitarian parole or similar programs. Instead, employers are now responsible for regularly generating and reviewing “Status Change Reports” to monitor for employees whose work authorization has been revoked.
According to USCIS guidance, the first such report, available as of June 20, 2025, covers revocations that occurred between April 9 and June 13, 2025.
If an employee appears on a Status Change Report or voluntarily discloses that their EAD has been revoked, employers must reverify their work authorization using Form I-9, Supplement B. A new E-Verify case should not be created. Affected employees may still be authorized to work in the U.S. under a different lawful status and can present alternate documentation to satisfy the reverification requirement. Reverification must occur within a “reasonable” period; however, since USCIS has not defined this term, employers are strongly advised to act promptly to avoid compliance issues.
The full text of USCIS’ EAD Revocation Guidance is available here.
To stay ahead of these changes, employers should update their internal processes immediately to include the routine generation and review of Status Change Reports.
