VERIFY Act of 2026 Verification Enhancement and Reliability for Immigration Fidelity Act of 2026

Introduced·4/30/26

Modernizes the SAVE program to improve accuracy, timeliness, and interoperability for immigration status verification.

The VERIFY Act of 2026 aims to modernize the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, enhancing its accuracy, timeliness, and interoperability. The Secretary of Homeland Security must upgrade the program's infrastructure, implement automated data reconciliation, expand API access, and establish performance metrics. The SAVE program will notify querying agencies of material immigration status changes while adhering to privacy laws. Automated tools can be used for data reconciliation and identity matching, but adverse eligibility determinations require human review.
