1/29/2009 - Reminder: New I-9 Regulation and Revised I-9 form Effective February 2
Remember that as of February 2, 2009, the new I-9 regulation and revised I-9 form released by USCIS on January 19 go into effect. Employers should be using the new form - and abiding by the new regulations - as of that date.
See our January 19 update for further information about the changes and links to the new form.
Bottom Line:
The new rule and new form contain some major changes - such as elimination of acceptability for expired documents, additions of several new acceptable documents, and removal of certain older Employment Authorization Document versions. It is therefore important that those responsible for completing the I-9 process be prepared.
Who Should Care:
U.S. Employers, hiring managers, and HR managers.
