Reminder: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has Published Revised Form I-9

USCIS published a revised version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification on August 1, 2023. Among the improvements to the form is a checkbox E-Verify employers can use to indicate remote examination of identity and employment authorization documents. Employers who were participating in E-Verify and created a case for employees whose documents were examined during COVID-19 flexibilities (March 20, 2020, to July 31, 2023), may choose to use the new alternative procedure starting on August 1, 2023, to satisfy the physical document examination requirement by August 30, 2023. Employers who were not enrolled in E-Verify during the COVID-19 flexibilities were required to complete an in-person examination by August 30, 2023. Employers can use the current Form I-9 (edition date 10/21/19) through October 31, 2023.
