Bill overview
The Verification Enhancement and Reliability for Immigration Fidelity Act (VERIFY Act) of 2026 aims to modernize the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, which is used to verify the immigration status of individuals applying for benefits. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to improve the SAVE program’s accuracy, speed, and ability to share data with other agencies. It also establishes procedures for notifying agencies of status changes and limits the program’s use to eligibility verification purposes, preventing its expansion for law enforcement.
