What is an EIN?

An EIN, or Employer Identification Number, is a number that employers have to register.  It’s actually one part of a federal law called the E-Verify law, which was passed in the 1990s.

So each employer would have their own then?
user
Yes.  The purpose is that if the government were to get any evidence that an employer has ever hired an illegal immigrant, they would find the employer based on their EIN.
