Oregon Employment Eligibility Verification is a process to ensure that all employees working in Oregon are legally authorized to work in the United States. Employers are required to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all individuals they hire and to create a record of the verification process. Employers have the responsibility to complete an I-9 form for each employee and to keep the I-9 form on file for the duration of the employee's employment. The Oregon Employment Eligibility Verification process is based on the federal I-9 form and includes two types of verification: primary source verification and secondary source verification. Primary source verification includes using one or more documents from the list of acceptable documents provided by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to verify an employee’s identity and employment eligibility. Common documents used for primary source verification include a U.S. passport, Permanent Resident Card, Employment Authorization Document, and Social Security Card. Secondary source verification includes using a third-party verification system such as E-Verify to verify an employee’s identity and employment eligibility. E-Verify is an internet-based system that allows employers to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. Employers must register with E-Verify and submit the employee’s I-9 form and other documents to the system to complete the verification process.
