Klasko, Rulon, Stock & Seltzer, LLP wishes to remind our clients that the new I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form, will become effective on April 3, 2009. The new I-9 form revises the list of acceptable documents that employers may accept to verify the identity and work eligibility of newly hired employees. It can be obtained from USCIS at http://www.uscis.gov/i-9.
The changes to Form I-9 require that all of the documents presented by an employee to establish work eligibility are unexpired. Additionally, the interim final rule adds several new documents to the list of acceptable documents to establish a new hire’s identity and work eligibility. Finally, Section 1 of the Form makes some changes to the part of the form in which new hires attest to their immigration status.
