Revised Form I-9 Required For New Hires Beginning September 18, 2017
A newly revised Form I-9 has been published by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS"), and must be used by employers for new hires beginning on September 18, 2017. The revised form bears the date of "07/17/17 N" and, in addition to making some minor changes to the form's instructions, updates the list of acceptable documents that may be used to establish identity and authorization to work in the United States. The prior version (with the revised date "11/14/16 N") may be used until September 17, 2017, but businesses are free to use the newly revised form right away if they wish. The revised form, as well as detailed information about Form I-9 compliance, is available at the USCIS website.
