Starting July 1, 2026, all private employers in Florida must use the federal E-Verify system to check if new hires can work in the U.S. This expands the current rule from larger employers to every business. Employers must also certify each year on their first unemployment tax filing that they followed the rule. Effects: more consistent hiring checks, fewer unauthorized workers hired, added paperwork and costs for small businesses, and possible hiring delays.
