New I-9 Form Released

By rebecca in News and Updates

As of March 8, 2013, USCIS released a new Form I-9 for employers to begin utilizing immediately for all new hires and reverifications. The newly expanded form is now 9 pages long with more comprehensive instructions.  Some features of the new Form I-9 include:

 

Important changes to Section 1

  • The form now asks for the employee’s email address and telephone number.  This information would be utilized in the event of a potential mismatch between the information provided and the information in the DHS or SSA records.  The employee may write “N/A” if they choose not to provide this information.

 

Changes in font and instruction layout of the form

  • The enhanced layout allows more room for employees and employers to complete the required information clearly.

 

New and expanded instruction section for Employers

  • There is now a detailed set of instructions included for employers on how to complete the form correctly including how to handle temporary receipts submitted in lieu of permanent documents.
