On Nov. 14, USCIS released a revised version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. Form I-9s with a revision date of March 8, 2013 will continue to be accepted until Jan. 21, 2017. By Jan. 22, 2017, employers must use the revised form. Employers should continue to follow existing storage and retentions rules for all previously completed I-9s.
The new form contains enhancements that will allow for easier online completion and reduced likelihood of employer errors that could result in fines.
Truescreen is currently updating our I-9 solution to incorporate this latest version of the form. This update is scheduled to be completed prior to the Jan. 22, 2017 deadline.
If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact your sales executive, account manager or our customer service team.
The revised Form I-9 is available here.
