Effective November 1, 2023, all employers must use the revised, current version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, with the edition date of 08/01/2023, when completing the employment eligibility verification process. This updated Form I-9 reflects the option for eligible employer to verify employment eligibility remotely.
There are a few changes that have been made to the Form I-9 in an effort to improve the customer experience. Sections 1 and 2 have been reduced from two separate pages to one; the Preparer and/or Translator Certification portion is now a separate Supplement A to be used as needed, rather than being a part of the main form; similarly the Reverification and Rehire section is now a separate Supplement B to be used as needed, rather than being a main part of the form; the form Instructions are now 8 pages, instead of 15; and the “List of Acceptable Documents” now includes acceptable receipt notices and more information on automatic extensions of employment authorization documents (EADs).
As always, Romy Kapoor and Your Immigration Lawyers welcome your questions and comments!
