ATTACHMENT D EEV.pdf

This document is a Vendor EEV (Employment Eligibility Verification) Certification and Agreement for the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), State Tax Commission (STC), and Department of Human Services, involving compliance with the Mississippi Employment Protection Act. The document requires vendors to verify their participation in the federal work authorization program operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, specifically the E-Verify system, and mandates that vendors must obtain similar verification from any subcontractors they might employ during the contract performance.

The certification includes critical legal provisions regarding potential penalties for non-compliance, including possible contract cancellation, ineligibility for state or public contracts for up to three years, and potential criminal prosecution. Vendors acknowledge potential fines up to $10,000 and criminal penalties for knowingly hiring unauthorized aliens. The document is designed to ensure that all contractors and subcontractors working on state contracts are compliant with employment eligibility verification requirements, with vendors required to maintain records of such verification and inform the Mississippi Transportation Commission (MTC) if they are no longer registered in the federal work authorization program.
