The current version of the Employment Eligibility Verification form (Form I-9) expires today. I’ve previously posted on my blog here on this topic. Below notice is from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regarding what to do in light of this expiration date. Presently, the revised version of the Form I-9 is the subject of a 30 day notice and comment period, following an earlier 60 day notice and comment period. If you would like to see the “revised” Form I-9 click here . Hopefully the revised Form I-9 will be available in May. Note that it will still be a two page document but there are some formatting changes which USCIS hopes will make the form easier to complete.
USCIS Notice:
“Until further notice, employers should continue using Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. This current version of the form continues to be effective even after the Office of Management and Budget control number expiration date of March 31, 2016, has passed. USCIS will provide updated information about the new version of Form I-9 as it becomes available.
Employers must complete Form I-9 for all newly hired employees to verify their identity and authorization to work in the U.S. To learn more about Form I-9 visit I-9 Central.”
