What to Know Wednesday: E-Verify Launches New Tools to Track EAD Revocations

In June 2025, E-Verify launched a new “Status Change Report” and online “Compliance Tracking Website” to help employers monitor changes to their employees’ work authorization—particularly the revocation of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs).

These tools arrive as immigration policy continues to shift rapidly, and they introduce new responsibilities and potential risks for both employers and employees.

Why This Matters

With the rollback of programs like CHNV parole and changes to Temporary Protected Status (TPS), many noncitizen workers are losing their legal ability to work.  E-Verify’s new reporting system provides employers with alerts if an employee’s EAD has been revoked or is no longer valid.

While this system is designed for compliance, it also raises significant privacy, discrimination, and due process concerns—especially if used improperly or without clear understanding.

What the New System Does

✔️ Allows employers enrolled in E-Verify to view real-time “status change” reports
✔️ Tracks revocations of EADs issued under programs such as TPS and humanitarian parole
✔️ Sends notifications that an employee’s work authorization has been terminated or updated
✔️ Provides a centralized website for monitoring employee authorization changes

What Employers Need to Know

If you use E-Verify, you are now expected to:

📌 Check for new status alerts regularly
📌 Reverify the I-9 and EAD information when a revocation notice appears
📌 Avoid discriminatory practices—status alerts do not always mean immediate termination
📌 Consult with legal counsel before taking adverse action against an employee

Misusing this tool could lead to employment discrimination claims, I-9 compliance violations, and reputational harm.  Employers must balance compliance with fairness and legal responsibility.

What Employees Should Understand

If you receive notice from your employer about your EAD being revoked:

📝 Ask for a copy of any E-Verify communication they received
🧑‍⚖️ Speak with an immigration attorney immediately—your work status may still be fixable
📆 Track the expiration date on your EAD or I-94 and plan for renewal or status adjustment early
🛑 Do not assume you must leave your job without first confirming your legal rights

Legal Guidance Can Make the Difference

Whether you are an employer seeking clarity or an employee affected by these status changes, legal advice is essential.

An immigration attorney can help:

✔️ Interpret E-Verify alerts and DHS communications
✔️ Assist with EAD renewals, alternative visa pathways, or status adjustments
✔️ Guide employers through reverification without discrimination
✔️ Reduce the risk of job loss or penalties due to miscommunication

Final Note

This new reporting system represents a major development in immigration compliance—and one that must be handled carefully.  Understanding how it works and where legal risks may arise is essential for protecting your business, your employees, and your rights.
