• 1.02 percent are not found work authorized.

Of the 1.02% of employees not found to be work authorized:

• 0.01 percent of employees who receive initial mismatches contest the mismatch and are not found work authorized.
• 0.34 percent of employees with initial mismatches are unresolved because the employer closed the case as "self-terminated" or as requiring further action by either the employer or employee at the end of FY17 Q1.
