abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. The myE-Verify 
(previously E-Verify Self Check) collection allows workers in the 
United States to enter data into the E-Verify system to ensure that the 
information relating to their eligibility to work is correct and 
accurate. This is necessary so that workers in the United States can 
correct their records before a hiring decision is made. This will lead 
to a more reliable and accurate E-Verify system that works better for 
both employers and employees.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated 
total number of annual respondents for the information collection G-

is 0.1161 hours; and the estimated total number of annual respondents 
for the information collection G-1499 (account creation) is 25,000 and 
the estimated hour burden per response is 0.250 hours.
