On August 1, 2023, the USCIS published a Revised Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, along with several rule changes. Starting on Nov. 1, 2023, the prior version of Form I-9 is obsolete and no longer valid for use.
The USCIS states that, “The newly updated Form I-9 contains myriad revisions to the form and its instructions to streamline these materials and reduce employer and employee burden associated with the form.” The revised Form I-9 reduces Sections 1 and 2 to a single-sided sheet and is designed to be a fillable form on tablets and mobile devices. It also revised the list of acceptable documents to include some acceptable receipts, as well as provide guidance and links to information on automatic extensions of employment authorization documentation.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a final rule allowing E-Verify employers to remotely examine Form I-9 verification documents. The new Form I-9 subsequently has a checkbox to indicate when an employee’s Form I-9 documentation was examined using a DHS-authorized alternative procedure.
In this webinar, you will learn about Form I-9 requirements, step-by-step instructions on how to complete each section, acceptable documents, retention and storage, and an overview of E-Verify.
