Nebraska Enhances Employment Authorization Process: Employment Law Manual Updated

Author: Melissa A. Silver, XpertHR Legal Editor

Effective February 1, 2015, Nebraska is the fifth state to participate in the Records and Information for Department of Motor Vehicles for E-Verify (RIDE) program. RIDE validates the authenticity of the driver's license presented by a new hire by comparing driver's license data (from a driver's license, driver's permit or state-issued identification card) with state motor vehicle records. If there is a match, E-Verify then compares that information with the information initially entered into E-Verify by the employer.

As a result of this development, the Nebraska Immigration, Form I-9 and Work Visas section of the Employment Law Manual has been updated.
