If your state doesn’t then they don’t care.

The Department of Economic Opportunity sent letters to several businesses, flagging the various companies for “repeat non-responsiveness” to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).

“If you persist and fail to respond to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), there will be significant consequences,” the letters reads, warning that the notice serves as the “final opportunity to respond before consequences are initiated.”

Florida’s legislature passed a law that required all employers to run E-Verify on every employee and certify they have done so, subject to audit.  This is a trivial, no-cost requirement in that its a simple computer check.  It is not absolutely bomb-proof but very close, and makes using a stolen Social Security number (or a made up one) almost certain to get declined and, for those employers who “don’t care” they won’t run it at all and thus can’t be in compliance.
