The I-9 form is a federal document that verifies an employee’s identity and employment authorization in the United States. It is required by law for all employers to complete for every new hire to ensure compliance with immigration regulations.
All new hires must fill out a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, within the first 3 days of employment. Processing the forms can be time-consuming, resource-intensive, and error-prone. Incorrect forms can result in stiff penalties and fines and even debarment of government contracts. We can help.
Combining two decades of I-9 experience with the latest paperless technology, the Maximus Tax Credit & Employer Services practice is the industry leader in I-9 processing and verification. Integrating our electronic I-9 management software with your standard hiring procedures will help you:
Onboard new hires quickly and accurately
Eliminate common violation risks
Fulfill hiring compliance
Helping employers to achieve compliance with all U.S. Department of Homeland Security guidelines, our electronic I-9 management software is easy to use. In just minutes, managers can verify each new hire’s information and sign the form electronically. Human errors are virtually eliminated due to validation checks, built right into the software, which prevents progress without first entering the proper information. You no longer have to worry about lost forms or forgotten signatures. You can feel confident that you are getting your I-9s done right the first time, saving time and valuable resources.
After the electronic I-9 form is completed on the Maximus electronic portal, employee data is automatically submitted to the E-Verify program. The majority of employees are successfully and immediately verified/work authorized; however, if a non-verification or a tentative confirmation is returned, the Maximus solutions help employers ensure that this difficult process is managed and tackled until completion. Managers are able to view in real-time the status of an E-Verify case to ensure they take the required steps to complete the process. It's as easy as that.
Our extensive network of designated agents is available to meet with new hires in their local area. These agents will assist in the necessary document review and completion of Section 2, ensuring that each step of the process adheres to compliance standards.
Maximus trained staff provide virtual assistance to new hires and their designated agents. This remote solution ensures that all parties have the support they need to complete the I-9 process efficiently and in compliance with federal regulations.
With our "Friends and Family" option, new hires can designate a trusted second party to complete Section 2 on behalf of your organization. This flexible approach allows for seamless document review while maintaining compliance.

E-Verify is a web-based system that allows employers to electronically validate the employment eligibility of newly hired workers.
In 2009, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security made it mandatory for federal contractors and subcontractors to use E-Verify to validate that employees are eligible to work in the U.S.
Three states (AZ, MS, and SC) require E-Verify participation for all employers, both public and private.
Nine other states (CO, GA, ID, MN, MO, NC, OK, RI, NE, and UT) require E-Verify participation for those working in the public domain: state agencies, contractors, or subcontractors.
