                the international borders of the United States;

                border intrusions; and
                    (K) Border Patrol agents respond to each reported

        Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 
        (division C of Public Law 104-208; 8 U.S.C. 1324a note), that 
        each such individual is authorized to work in the United

        faith with the requirements of section 274A(b) of such Act with 
        respect to the hiring, recruiting, or referral for employment 
        of an alien in the United States has established an affirmative 
        defense that the person or entity has not violated section 
        274A(a)(1)(A) of such Act with respect to such hiring, 
        recruiting or referral. Furthermore an employer who has 
        complied with the requirements in paragraphs (1) and (4) of 
        this Act shall not be liable for hiring an unauthorized alien, 
        if--
                    (A) such hiring occurred due to an error in the E-
                Verify program that was unknown to the employer at the 
                time of such hiring; and
                    (B) the employer terminates the employment of the 
                alien upon being informed of the error.
            (6) Sanctions for noncompliance.--The failure of an 
        employer to comply with the requirements in paragraphs (1) or 
        (4) shall--
                    (A) be treated as a violation of section 
                274A(a)(1)(B) with respect to each offense; and

                employer has violated section 274A(a)(1)(A).
            (7) Voluntary participation of employers not immediately 
        subject to requirement.--Nothing in this subsection shall be 
        construed as preventing a person or other entity that is not 
        immediately subject to the requirement of paragraph (1) 
        pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) from voluntarily using the E-
        Verify program to verify the employment authorization of new 
        hires or current employees.
            (8) State interference.--No State may prohibit a person or 
        other entity from using the E-Verify program to verify the 
        employment authorization of new hires or current employees.
            (9) E-Verify study.--
                    (A) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
                            (i) A majority of the 0.4 percent of 
                        tentative non-confirmations that are issued 
                        within E-Verify to work authorized individuals 
                        occur due to incorrect or outdated information 
                        in the databases utilized by the system. For 
                        instance, an individual may have changed his or 
                        her name legally but has not updated their 
                        Social Security information to account for this 
                        change. This person would likely receive a 
                        tentative non-confirmation if their work 
                        eligibility were checked using E-Verify.
                            (ii) E-Verify already provides employers 
                        and employees with simple and clear 
                        instructions on how inconsistencies in data can 
                        be corrected in order to verify the work 
                        eligibility of an employee. However, giving an 
                        individual the ability to verify his or her own 
                        employment eligibility in advance of an 
                        official E-Verify query by an employer would 
                        allow that individual to correct data errors at 
                        his or her convenience. This may also serve to 
                        lessen peak demand on Social Security 
                        Administration field offices.
                    (B) Study.--The Government Accountability Office 
                shall conduct a study to examine the potential of a 
                secure method of allowing individuals to check their 
                own work eligibility, so that they can address 
                inconsistencies in their personal data that might 
                otherwise cause them to be issued a tentative non-
                confirmation by E-Verify. The study shall be published 
                within 6 months after the date of enactment of this 
                Act.
            (10) Document fraud study.--The Government Accountability 
        Office shall conduct a study to examine methods to combat 
        document fraud, theft and forgery in the use and expansion of 
        the E-Verify program. The report shall make recommendations to 
        the appropriate agencies on ways to reduce instances of 
        document fraud, theft and forgery. The report shall be 
        published within six months after enactment of this Act.

SEC. 202. MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE.

    (a) Enhancing Monitoring and Compliance of E-Verify.--The Secretary 
of the Department of Homeland Security is authorized take the following 
actions to increase the capability and effectiveness of the E-Verify 
employer Monitoring and Compliance team within Citizenship and

        outlined in the E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding.
            (2) Increase as necessary the number of fulltime employees

        creation of informational tools and corrective action

        employers. These employees may also be utilized in the 
        operation of the toll free compliance assistance call center.
            (3) Establish procedures for the identification of cases of 
        potential fraud or misuse of E-Verify.
            (4) Establish procedures for the sharing of information on 
        these selected cases with Immigration and Customs Enforcement 
        for further investigation as necessary.
            (5) Report to Congress within one year of the date of 
        enactment of this Act on the activities of the Office of 
        Monitoring and Compliance which shall include--
                    (A) a description of the types of fraud and misuse 
                being detected by the thresholds and algorithms used 
                for employee monitoring within the Office;
                    (B) the number and type of cases flagged by the 
                Office and referred to Immigration and Customs 
                Enforcement, as well as the outcome of these cases; and
                    (C) an assessment of the number and the nature of 
                calls received by the compliance assistance call 
                center.

SEC. 203. MANDATORY NOTIFICATION OF SSN MISMATCHES AND MULTIPLE USES.

    (a) Notification of Multiple Uses of Individual Social Security 
Numbers.--Prior to crediting any individual with concurrent earnings 
from more than one employer, the Commissioner of Social Security shall 
notify the individual that earnings from two or more employers are 
being reported under the individual's Social Security account number 
(SSN). Such notice shall include, at a minimum--
            (1) the name and location of each employer reporting 
        benefits for an individual;
            (2) a warning that any inaccuracies in this information
