Just when you thought you had filling the form out down, the government changes it! On March 8, 2013, USCIS (The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) published a new expanded I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form.
Form I-9 is the standard form issued by the USCIS that every business must use to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all individuals hired in the United States — both citizens and non-citizens must complete this form. Further, the employer must ensure that the form is completed correctly for each individual they hire.
The new Form I-9 is very different from previous versions and asks for new data. It will have a 60-day implementation period during which time both the new and old form versions may be used. After May 7, 2013, only the new Form I-9 may be used. I-9 compliance is critical. Additionally, employers will be required to use the new form for all new hires and for any rehires or re-verifications when they would normally use section 3.
For your convenience, we have included a link to the new form and instructions below as well as on “Our Resources” menu tab at the top of this web page.
