Office of the Secretary September 21, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to revise an existing Department of Homeland Security system of records notice titled ``DHS/USCIS-004 Verification Information System'' system of records and republish it as ``DHS/USCIS- 004 Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program'' system of records. Previously, the Department of Homeland Security published a single system of records notice for both the E-Verify and Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Programs as part of the underlying technology, the Verification Information System on December 11, 2008. On May 11, 2010 the Department of Homeland Security published the Department of Homeland Security/ United States Citizenship and Immigration Services011 E-Verify Program system of records. The Department of Homeland Security now proposes to revise and republish the Department of Homeland Security/ United States Citizenship and Immigration Services004 Verification Information System system of records as the Department of Homeland Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services004 Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program system of records. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Verification Division administers the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program. The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program is a fee-based intergovernmental initiative designed to help Federal, state, tribal, and local government agencies check immigration status when granting benefits, licenses, and other lawful purposes. On the publication of this SORN, the Verification Information System system of records notice will no longer be applicable. This newly established system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.
