I-9 Update
This month's Bulletin attachment is the I-9 form. Employers may recall that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) updated the I-9 form in June of 2009. The updated form was released in conjunction with a regulation that changed the list of documents employers are allowed to accept as proof of an individual's identity and employment eligibility. The form also differentiates U.S. citizens from non-citizen nationals of the United States.
Employers are advised to update or reverify certain ID documents at or prior to their expiration date. This does not apply to US Passports, nor to already presented and accepted non-expired Permanent Resident Cards when they reach their expiration date, nor to any List B documents, e.g. state driver's licenses and state ID's. For more information regarding the limited requirements an allowed instances for reverification, please visit the USCIS website accessed in SharedHR’s Resource Links.
SharedHR provides clients with the most up-to-date forms in the Document Library. If you have questions regarding acceptable verification of status or other hiring questions, please contact our offices.
