Phoenix, AZ - State law mandates as of January, 1 2008 all Arizona employers verify that every employee is legally permitted to work in the United States through use of the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify System and proper Form I-9 completion.

Now that Electronic Employment Verification is state mandated in Arizona, businesses of all sizes are looking for a simple and cost effective way to comply with the new law. However, when an Arizona company uses the E-verify program they are not totally free from scrutiny, prosecution or business shutdowns.

Case in point, Swift & Co., the company has participated in the federal government’s Basic Pilot worker authorization program for ten years, yet the company was raided by federal agents on December 12, 2006.

Swift & Co. processed the Social Security numbers through the e-verify (basic pilot program) and illegal aliens were cleared for employment.

So what happened? The federal agents searched for illegal immigrants who stole the identities of lawful U.S. residents and used valid Social Security numbers to get jobs at the company. The government detained and removed nearly 1,300 illegal aliens during this raid.

“Swift said it believes the raids violated the agreements associated with the company’s participation over the past ten years in the federal government’s Basic Pilot worker authorization program.”

The shutdown and the long road to return operations back to full production; cost Swift & Company between $45 million to $50 million.

If Swift & Company had used Allegiant Solutions as an identity document verification service to screen their employees’ documents, the illegal aliens would have been declined from being hired.

Allegiant Solutions focuses on the source, “the document”. The document is the key to identity verification, not the information on the document. We provide a practical solution to the most difficult ID verification environment; where an individual who is seeking identity verification is unknown to the verifier. We do this by verifying that the document is valid and that it belongs to the bearer through a series of questions comparing the security features against a known source document.

Allegiant Solutions has numerous applications, such as employment verification (Form I-9 compliance), resident screening, and any situation when an identity document needs to be scrutinized or verified.
