Occurrences
Shreve introduced the VERIFY Act of 2026 with Rep. Dave Taylor.
Congressman Jefferson Shreve introduced the VERIFY Act of 2026, which would modernize the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system, known as SAVE, which agencies use to verify immigration status for licenses, benefits, and other approvals.
Evidence
The official House homepage lists recent news items dated May 22, 2026 and May 19, 2026 about the BUILD America 250 Act, appropriations funding, and mobile office hours; site searches on this page found no matches for "SAVE" or "immigration".
Assessments
Jefferson Shreve is an active federal officeholder, but the provided evidence does not show that he introduced, sponsored, advanced, or helped deliver a modernization of DHS's SAVE system. The only evidence is weak negative evidence from his official House site showing recent activity on other topics and no visible work on SAVE or immigration status verification. That is not enough to conclude the promise was delivered, partially delivered, or definitively failed after a serious attempt, so the safest judgment is unresolved.
