The E‑Verify program has key updates for employers in early 2026. USCIS extended the deadline to download historical E‑Verify records through January 22, 2026, before older records are purged, and employers must retain these with corresponding Form I‑9s. E‑Verify also reintroduced Points of Contact (POC) management, letting organizations update contact info to stay compliant with the program’s Memorandum of Understanding. Employers should verify records and POC details promptly to avoid compliance issues.
