As a reminder, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has advised that employers should continue using the current version of Form I-9, even though the March 31, 2016 expiration date on the form has passed. The agency recently proposed several revisions to Form I-9 and stated that it will provide updated information about the new version of the form as it becomes available.
Federal law requires employers to hire only individuals who may legally work in the United States–either U.S. citizens or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization. To comply with the law, employers must verify the identity and employment authorization of each person they hire by completing and retaining Form I-9.
