The FY2027 President's Budget requests — for I-9 Portal, within Homeland Security's Procurement, Construction, and Improvements account.
FY2025–FY2026
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $2.8M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $2.8M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The portal enables employers to upload I-9 and supporting documentation to a centralized location for HSI agents to review. The I-9 portal is secure and publicly accessible and able to host many documents of varying file types. The I-9 portal has an internal functionality to notify agents when documentation is uploaded and provides a return status back to agents and the employers as document review moves through the workflow process.
Extracted from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, p. 5. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
