New I-9 Form Required

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published a revised version of the Form I-9 (version dated 11/14/2016) which must be filled out for all new employees hired on or after 1/22/2017 and for reverification of current employees whose employment authorization expires after 1/22/2017. If an Employer utilizes a vendor for I-9 purposes, it is important to confirm the vendor has updated their I-9 form. Using the old version of the I-9 form may subject the employer to fines and/or penalties following an audit. The new form and instructions can be accessed at: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9
