Changes announced by USCIS include:

New Further Action Letter

USCIS will combine the previously separate Tentative Non-Confirmation (TNC) notice and referral letter into one document entitled Further Action Notice (FAN) going forward.

It notifies employees that a TNC has occurred and gives them the option to contest the information with an explanation of how to resolve an issue with either the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or the Social Security Administration (SSA). The FAN will need to be signed by both the employer and employee and kept with the Form I-9.

Referral Date Confirmation

After an employee takes steps to resolve a record issue and once the employer refers the case to DHS or SSA, a new Referral Date Confirmation will be generated for the employer to give to their employee; it will include the deadline for the employee to contest the case.

Email Notifications

According to information provided on a USCIS webinar early September 2013, if an employee has provided his/her email address and an E-verify TNC status is received, the employee will receive the following emails from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), based on the context:

· Notification to employee, advising them of the issuance of TNC

· Notification to employee after their case has been referred to SSA or DHS by the employer (if an employee chooses to contest)

· Reminder email when the employee has not contacted DHS or SSA within four days of the date that the case was referred

· Courteous email reminder from E-verify requesting naturalized US Citizens to update SSA records, if a TNC was issued and resolved later.
