Denial for the FEIN value means that the FEIN entered in Section C.12 of the ETA Form 9035E by the employer could not be currently verified by the OFLC as a valid nine digit FEIN assigned by the IRS.

In order for the employer to overcome the issue identified on the denial determination for any future LCAs submitted using the denied FEIN, the employer will first need to submit at least one document that clearly displays the FEIN and the name of the employer associated with the unique identification number.
