Dawn Lurie Writes on E-Verify in Illinois in Privacy & Cybersecurity Law Report

Seyfarth’s Dawn Lurie authored an article, “E-Verify in Illinois: SB0508 Myths Dispelled, Rights Protected,” in the May 2025 edition of the Privacy & Cybersecurity Law Report. Lurie discussed how the passage of the vaguely named “Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act” sparked confusion about E-Verify use, which the Illinois Department of Labor recently clarified.

“Key changes include mandatory employee notification related to Form I-9 inspections (remarkably similar to obligations in the state of California), protection against retaliation for exercising rights under E-Verify, and specific corrective action opportunities for employees with tentative nonconfirmations. Employers must also adhere to strengthened anti-discrimination provisions, ensuring that E-Verify is used fairly and transparently.”
