(Please see the bottom of this page for links to printable versions of the documents mentioned here as well as the Employer Identification Number and Approval Date)
In 2006, Governor Sonny Perdue signed into law new requirements for public employers, contractors, and those applying for public benefits within the State of Georgia. The Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act (Senate Bill 529) mandated public employers to register and participate in a federal work authorization program to verify information of all new employees. This law also made it illegal for public employers to enter into contract for physical performance of services with contractors and subcontractors not registered and participating in a federal work authorization program. For individuals using Georgia’s public services, access was authorized by the Department of Homeland Security, through the SAVE Program, for verification of legal presence in the United States to determine eligibility.
The SAVE Program is inter-governmental initiative designed to aid benefit-issuing agencies, institutions, licensing bureaus and other entities in determining an applicant’s immigration status, and thereby ensure that only entitled applicants receive federal, state, or local public benefits and licenses.
