NEW I-9 FORM

Last week, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a new version of Form 1-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. 

Employers should begin using the new form on August 1, 2023. After October 31, 2023, employers will be subject to penalties if they use the old form.

In addition, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is now allowing employers to implement remote document examinations. DHS noted that only employers who use E-Verify and are in good standing will be allowed to continue electronic verifications after August 1, 2023. 

The I-9 Form must be completed within three days of a new employee's hire. Employers that do not complete and retain I-9 forms may face civil money or criminal penalties.
