ATTACHMENT D EEV CERTIFICATION.pdf

This document is an EEV (Employment Eligibility Verification) Certification and Agreement form issued by the Mississippi Transportation Commission involving multiple state agencies including the Department of Employment Security, State Tax Commission, and Department of Human Services. The document requires vendors or contractors to verify compliance with the Mississippi Employment Protection Act and federal work authorization programs, specifically the E-Verify system operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Vendors must electronically verify information about newly hired employees and agree to maintain records of such compliance.

The certification requires vendors to agree that they will secure verification from subcontractors and potentially face significant penalties for non-compliance, including contract cancellation, loss of licenses or permits, and potential criminal prosecution. Penalties can include fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 and potential imprisonment for up to one year for knowingly or recklessly accepting unauthorized employment. The document includes space for vendor identification, EEV company identification number, authorized agent signature, and notarization, with a footnote clarifying that the E-Verify program is operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in conjunction with the Social Security Administration.
