WASHINGTON – The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require federal contractors and subcontractors to use the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS) E-Verify system, according to a notice published Thursday in the Federal Register.
Reports say that under the regulation, E-Verify would be required to verify the eligibility of all newly hired employees.
