EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PROGRAM (E-Verify) – U.S. law requires organizations to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States - either U.S. citizens, or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization. This agency utilizes E-Verify to compare information from the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) records to confirm employment eligibility. If the employee’s information does not match DHS and/or SSA records, the employee is given an opportunity to resolve the problem. If eligibility cannot be verified, employment will be terminated.
You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.
The qualifications for this position will be evaluated by subject matter experts. Apply only if you meet the qualifications.
If the subject matter experts determine that your resume reflects the required competencies, you will have at least one phone interview to further assess whether your experience meets the required competencies. You may meet with more than one subject matter expert for a determination to be made.
Qualified candidates will be assigned to one of the following quality categories:
Highly Qualified: In addition to meeting minimum qualifications, applicants must demonstrate an advanced level of the experience and competencies required for the position.

CTAP and ICTAP candidates must be rated "Well Qualified" for the position to receive consideration for special priority.
Veteran preference eligibles are listed ahead of non-preference eligibles within each quality category. Preference eligibles who meet minimum qualification requirements and who have a compensable service-connected disability of at least 10 percent (i.e., CPS and CP) will be listed in the highest quality category. Based upon your category, you may be referred to the selecting official.
