Will E-Verify be expanded in 2026?

If E-Verify has been expanded to be required for more workers before 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.

To satisfy the Payout Criterion, the federal government must, through executive action or because of a bill that has become law, mandate that an employer who is not a governmental entity, federal contractor, or vendor use E-Verify to verify the immigration status of at least one employee who is not a federal employee or a graduate who is eligible for Optional Practical Training authorization granted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. This may include a requirement that the employer use E-Verify or be subject to some penalty.
