Congress needs to act to reinstate the funding for the SCAAP program. This amendment can accommodate that funding as well. Let me list the primary elements of this particular amendment that funds programs necessary to begin the development of the worker verification program in connection with comprehensive immigration reform. One thing we need to do is to implement an electronic employment verification system and clean up the Social Security database and reissue a secure Social Security card and number to workers in the United States as the primary method of verifying worker eligibility. That is going to require not only work to clean up the database itself but a broadening of the current basic pilot program which is the only program currently in existence that can electronically verify employment.
