Employers Must Use Revised I-9 Form

By: The Chander Law Firm

As of May 7, 2013, employers must use the revised Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification (Revision 03/08/2013) for all new hires and reverifications. 

 

The new form does not need to be completed for existing employees if a properly completed I-9 form is on file. 

 

Spanish language versions of the form may be used in Puerto Rico ONLY.  The Spanish language form may only be used a reference when completing the English language form in the 50 states, Washington D.C., and territories. 

 

Form I-9 is used to verify employment eligibility of individuals hired for employment in the United States.  All employers must ensure completion of the form for each person they hire in the United States. On the form, the employee must attest to their eligibility to accept employment.  The employee must present acceptable documents evidencing employment eligibility.  The employer must examine the documents and determine whether they appear genuine and identify the employee.
