On August 18, 2022, DHS published a proposed rule that would revise employment eligibility verification regulations to allow the Secretary to authorize alternative document examination procedures in certain circumstances or with respect to certain employers. DHS explained that future exercises of such authority may reduce burdens on employers and employees while maintaining the integrity of the employment verification process. DHS will complete this rulemaking following review of public comments received.  This rulemaking is consistent with Executive Order 14058, which directs agencies to take actions that improve service delivery and customer experience by decreasing administrative burdens, enhancing transparency, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government.
