How to Earn Money as an E-Verify Agent
I'll show you how E-Verify, a U.S. government system, confirms employment eligibility by verifying employees' information against federal records. While DHS provides E-Verify as a free service, you can earn money by offering E-Verify-related services as a third-party agent.
In this presentation, I will guide you through establishing and growing a profitable business as an E-Verify Employer Agent. We'll cover everything from registration to marketing your services and expanding your offerings.
