E-Verify • E-Verify is one step beyond a requirement to complete a Form I-9 that has been required for employees hired after November 1986. • Enroll your LEA in the federal E-Verify system. • E-Verify all employees hired after your LEA has enrolled in E-Verify. • E-Verify all new substitutes hired after the E-Verify enrollment date, unless the substitute has completed a Form I-9 in the last three years. EVEN RETIRED TEACHERS. • Do not include a Form I-9 and E-Verify in application packets. • Complete the Form I-9 and E-Verify the employee by the deadlines required by the Federal Government. • For contracts awarded after January 1, 2012, require contractors to file affidavits required by the Beason-Hammon Immigration Act.
