A new Form I-9 was issued by USCIS yesterday, March 8, 2013. The newly revised Form I-9 includes additional data fields, improved instructions and a new layout that expands the form to two pages. Employers should begin using the new Form I-9 now. However, there will be a 60-day grace period until May 7, 2013, during which time employers can transition to the new form, but after that period, employers may be subject to penalties for using other versions.
Employers must complete Form I-9 for employees hired after November 6, 1986 to verify the identity and employment eligibility of employees.
The new Form I-9 can be accessed here.
Stay tuned – we will be providing additional information on the new Form I-9!
