I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today in support of H.R. 6633. This bill. negotiated by Members of both parties. will extend the basic pilot. otherwise known as the EVerify program. for 5 years. while also ensuring that the Social Security Administration can continue to participate in the program without endangering its core mission of providing needed benefits to our seniors and the disabled. Without this bill. the authorization for the basic pilot program would expire this November. H.R. 6633 also commissions two studies. which should help Congress evaluate the basic pilot program as it continues to work through the issues raised by the electronic employment eligibility verification systems.
