I-9 Flexibility Extended

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced an extension of the flexibility in complying with requirements related to Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. Because of ongoing precautions related to COVID-19, DHS has extended this policy until December 31, 2020.

This provision only applies to employers and workplaces that are operating remotely.

If there are employees physically present at a work location, no exceptions are being implemented at this time for in-person verification of identity and employment eligibility documentation for Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.
