DHS opens 30-day comment period on E-Verify collection revisions
USCIS published a Paperwork Reduction Act notice announcing it will submit a revision of the currently approved E-Verify information collection to OMB, with an additional 30 days for public comment.
The notice itself does not change any verification rule today. It signals possible changes to the data fields, screens or burden estimates associated with E-Verify case creation and management.
What this means for your agency
If your home health or hospice agency is enrolled in E-Verify — voluntarily or as a federal contractor condition — future revisions could alter the information your HR staff enter when creating cases. Agencies not enrolled in E-Verify still have unchanged Form I-9 duties.
The excerpt does not state the specific revisions, the OMB control number, or the exact comment closing date.
What to do now
- Read the full notice on the Federal Register site to see the proposed changes and the stated comment deadline.
- Have your HR or onboarding lead confirm whether your agency is an active E-Verify employer and who holds program administrator access.
- Submit a comment within the 30-day window if a change would add material burden to your hiring workflow.
- Keep current Form I-9 and E-Verify procedures in place until a final revision is approved.
