Revised I-9 Form Required for All New Hires and Reverifications

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has published a revised Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 (Rev. 03/08/13). The revised form includes new fields, reformatting to reduce errors and clearer instructions for both employees and employers.  Employers should immediately begin using the revised Form I-9 for all new hires and reverifications. Employers do not need to complete the revised form for current employees if a properly completed Form I-9 is already on file.

All employers are required to complete a Form I-9 for each employee hired in the United States. Employers may continue to use previous Form I-9 revisions (Rev. 02/02/09 and Rev. 08/07/09) until May 7, 2013. After May 7, 2013, employers must us only the newly revised form.
