The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has made available the revised Form I-9.
As described in our January 9 story, “New I-9 deadline Feb. 2: Are you ready?” The USCIS has published an interim final rule that narrows the list of documents employers may accept to verify employment authorization on the I-9 form. The revised Form I-9 becomes effective on February 2, 2009. At that time, employers will be required to use only the new form to verify the employment eligibility of new hires and reverify existing employees where necessary.
USCIS has published a final version of the I-9 form, a copy of which is available here, along with instructions.
The current version of the I-9 form, dated June 5, 2007, will no longer be available after the interim final rule takes effect on February 2, 2009.
