U.S. Department of Homeland Security to End COVID-19 Policy of Acceptance of Expired List B Documents for I-9 on May 1, 2022
/The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending the COVID-19 Temporary Policy for List B Identity Documents that allowed employers to accept expired List B documents. DHS adopted this temporary policy in response to the difficulties many people experienced with renewing documents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that document-issuing authorities have reopened and/or provided alternatives to in-person renewals, DHS will end this flexibility. Starting May 1, 2022, employers must only accept unexpired List B documents. Please also note that if an employee presented an expired List B document between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2022, employers are required to update their Forms I-9 by July 31, 2022.
