I'm 16 years old, and got a job as a grill operator over a month ago. One day while I was working like normal my division manager showed up (he barely ever shows up) and pulled me to the side. He gave me an E-verify case number and then he then told me that I needed to verify my employment eligibility and that I needed to get it fixed by calling the social security department within 8 days. over the past few days I've been on the phone for hours trying to get it fixed but it's just too much and I can't figure it out. I have a social security, work permit, and a learner's permit, so I really don't understand what the issue is. Why do I need to verify this when I literally showed him my employement authorization card? He said that he thinks that because I haven't done it I might be an 'illegal alien' which kinda rubbed off on me the wrong way. I have all my documents, and all of my family works and pay taxes and they haven't had this issue. I don't understand.
