A slightly revised Form I-9 released July 17 by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) becomes mandatory for employers beginning Sept. 18. The new I-9, which is used to verify employment eligibility, can be put into use immediately, but any employer not using it after the Sept. 18 deadline could face significant fines.
The new Form I-9, or Employment Eligibility Verification form, makes minor changes in wording and numbering that many users will hardly notice; however, the form with a revision date of 07/17/17 N must be implemented as of Sept. 18, 2017.
Employers must complete Form I-9 to verify the identity and employment authorization of all new hires. For more information about the revised I-9, visit the USCIS site.
