New I-9 Form Released
June 25th, 2008 | Category: News
USCIS has released a new version of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. Employers should start using the revised form (it has Rev. 06/16/08 in the bottom right corner) effective immediately because USCIS will no longer accept older versions.
Because employers are required to complete a Form I-9 for each new hire, the change in the form should be noted. The substantive changes in the form are minor.
The following documents are no longer acceptable evidence both as identity and as employment eligibility:
- The Certificate of United States Citizenship (Form N-560 or N-561);
- The Certificate of Naturalization (Form N-550 or N-570);
- The Form I-151, a long out-of-date version of the Alien Registration Receipt Card (”green card’”);
- The Unexpired Reentry Permit (Form I-327); and
- The Unexpired Refugee Travel Document (Form 1-571)
The revised List A of the List of Acceptable Documents now includes the most recent version of Form I-766, Employment Authorization Document.
Finally, the instructions regarding Section 1 of Form I-9 now indicate that the new hire is not required to provide a social security number unless the employer participates in the E-Verify program.
