Good News: Effective Date Of Federal Contractor E-Verify Rules Postponed Until February 20, 2009
January 12, 2009
The Department of Justice has agreed to postpone the effective date of the federal contractor e-verify rules until February 20, 2009. Government contractors have, at least, a temporary reprieve from the mandatory e-verify rules announced last November, which were scheduled to go into effect this week.
This temporary suspension of the e-verify rules was taken in response to a lawsuit challenging the validity of the new rules. This lawsuit, in combination with the new administration, places the future of the e-verify rules in question.
The e-verify rules and the effect of this recent announcement will be discussed at this Thursday’s Update on E-Verify, Affirmative Action and Other Federal Contractor and Subcontractor Obligations.
