The Update I-9 is Finally Available
USCIS has finally released the updated version of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The form carries a revision date of 8/07/2009 and will expire 8/31/2012. Employers should begin using this version of the form immediately.
There are no significant changes to the I-9 form other than the revision date and expiration date. To avoid confusion, employers should discard all blank I9 forms they may have and replace them with the new version. There is no need to have employees who have completed forms in the past complete a new form. Any person hired after August 27, 2009 should use the Form I-9 with the revision date of 8/7/2009.
