ATTACHMENT C EEV CERTIFICATION AND AGREEMENT.pdf

This document is an EEV (Employment Eligibility Verification) Certification and Agreement form issued by the Mississippi Transportation Commission, involving compliance with the Mississippi Employment Protection Act and related federal work authorization programs. The document requires vendors to verify their participation in the E-Verify program, which electronically confirms the employment eligibility of newly hired employees under the Immigration Reform and Control Act, and mandates ongoing compliance with state and federal regulations regarding employment verification.

The certification requires vendors to agree to several key provisions, including maintaining records of employment eligibility verification, informing the Mississippi Transportation Commission of any changes in program participation, and acknowledging potential legal consequences for non-compliance. These consequences include possible cancellation of public contracts, loss of business licenses, and potential criminal prosecution, with financial penalties ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 and potential additional legal actions. The document is designed to ensure that contractors and subcontractors operating under Mississippi state contracts adhere to strict employment eligibility standards and can be held accountable for verifying the legal status of their workforce.
