[Oasfaa] HB1804 and E-Verify

[Mc Conahay, Pamela K.]

David,

Based on the way they describe the system that has to be used to verify employment status in the language in HB 1804, I don't think an employer has the option to use the FAFSA datamatch for that purpose.        That's just my opinion .

SECTION 6.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1312 of Title 25, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:

As used in Sections 6 and 7 of this act:

1.  "Status Verification System" means an electronic system operated by the federal government, through which an authorized official of an agency of the State of Oklahoma or of a political subdivision therein may make an inquiry, by exercise of authority delegated pursuant to Section 1373 of Title 8 of the United States Code, to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency for any purpose authorized by Section 7 of this act.  The Status Verification System shall be deemed to include:

I was wondering...based on the passage of HB1804 are all Federal Work-study departments using E-Verify for the new work-study students even though they have been through the same/similar check through the FAFSA? I am just curious if your HR department is requiring you to do that or not.
Please let me know.

Thanks and have a great day.
