USCIS
Introduces Amended Form I-9 and the New Handbook for Employers
The U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services has published a notice in the
November 26 Federal Register to introduce the newly amended Form I-9,
“Employment Eligibility Verification.”
Employers are required to use the Form I-9 to
verify the identity and employment authorization of newly hired employees.
The amended Form I-9 contains an updated list of acceptable identity and
employment authorization documents that reflect the current regulations.
As of November 7, 2007, the amended Form I-9
is the only valid version of the form. The Department of Homeland Security
will not seek penalties against an employer for using a previous version of
the Form I-9 on or before December 26, 2007.
The notice is effective November 26, 2007.
