E-Verify

Subcontractors must remain active in the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) E-Verify program during the term of the contract. Check TxDOT’s
list of contractors
for whom CST has confirmed as participation in E-Verify. If a subcontractor does not appear on the TxDOT list complete each of the following.
  • Require
     that the subcontractor submit the appropriate documentation to
    CST_everify@txdot.gov
    prior to allowing the subcontractor to begin work.
  • If the DHS E-Verify Search tool yields results, the employer is verified as participating in E-Verify. Follow your documented process to save a record of your search results.
  • The DHS E-Verify Employer Search does not
     report results for employers of fewer than 5 employees. If the DHS E-Verify search tool does not yield results, it’s because the employer has registered as having fewer than 5 employees or because they have not registered with E-Verify.
  • For
     those employers with no search results, check the
    E-Verify Participants Acknowledged by TxDOT (accept to download the E-Verify list).
     If the employer is on TxDOT's List of Participants that means TxDOT has a fully executed
    Memorandum of Understanding
     (MOU) on file for the employer, indicating they have registered with E-Verify.
  • F
    or those employers with no search results and that do not appear on
    E-Verify Participants Acknowledged by TxDOT, request they
     provide a copy of their fully executed (signed and dated by the employer and by DHS)
    MOU
    .
    How employers obtain a copy of their fully executed MOU:
    • T
      he employer will log into the account =>
      https://www.e-verify.gov/
    • From the
       “Home” page select the down arrow next to
      their employer's name
    • S
      elect “Company Account”, then select “Company Profile”.
    • In
       the “Company Access and MOU” selection, select hyperlink “View Current MOU” located on the bottom of the “My Company Profile” page.
    • Once
       the page has loaded,
      the employer
       may print the page as a PDF file to save your MOU (
      ensure their
       web browser’s pop-up blocker is disabled as this will prevent you from opening
      their
       company’s MOU).
  • For employers
     that are not on
    E-Verify Participants Acknowledge by TxDOT
     and need to register with DHS, refer the employers to the following:
    https://www.e-verify.gov/employers
  • Fully executed MOU's are to be emailed to
    CST_everify@txdot.gov
    . CST will review the MOU's to ensure they're fully executed and will then add the employer to the E-Verify Participants Acknowledged by TxDOT.
  • Contractors must remain active with E-Verify registration for the term of the contract. Subcontractors must remain active with E-Verify registration until their work is complete on the project. Regularly scheduled verification of the employer's registration with E-Verify should occur and is
     accomplished following the aforementioned steps.
