Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Federal contractors who receive qualifying contracts on or after September 8, 2009, must participate in the E-Verify Program, using it to verify new employees and existing employees assigned to a federal contract (qualifying federal contractors may choose to verify the entire workforce). Qualifying contracts are those with a contract length longer than 120 days and a value above $100,000. At this time, employers without federal contracts are not required by federal law to use E-Verify, but they may be required to do so by state law.
In Idaho, Executive Order 2009-10 requires all state agencies and contractors to use the E-Verify system. Penalties for employers that fail to do so knowingly and willfully may include cancellation of the contract, reversion of unspent public funds, and civil and monetary penalties.
Idaho participates in E-Verify’s Records and Information from DMVs for E-Verify (RIDE) program. RIDE enables E-Verify to confirm information from drivers’ licenses and state identification cards presented by employees as List B (identity) documents by matching the data against jurisdiction records.
