New I-9 Forms
December 12, 2007 You probably already know this but employers will be required to use a new Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9) starting December 26, 2007, or risk fines and penalties. The biggest change is that the new form removes a number of documents from “List A” that employers may accept from new hires. The only acceptable documents to establish both identity and employment eligibility are:
- U.S. passport
- Permanent Resident Care or Alien Registration Receipt Card
- Unexpired foreign passport with a temporary I-551 stamp.
- Unexpired Employment Authorization Document that contains a photograph.
- Unexpired foreign passport with an unexpired “Arrival-Departure Record” containing an endorsement of the alien’s non-immigration status and authorization to work.
