In a move aimed at streamlining and modernizing the employment verification process, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released a revised version of the Form I-9, the Employment Eligibility Verification form, on August 1, 2023. This updated form, with an edition date of 08/01/23, replaces the previous edition from 2019 (dated 10/21/19). The alterations mark a significant shift in the way employers verify the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
New I-9 Form
On or before May 1, 2020, employers must begin using a new I-9 form (Rev. 10/21/2019) in their hiring processes. There is no need to update existing I-9s for employees who previously and properly completed their forms. Other than a few changes to the instructions, there is little other change to the new form. For example, it clarifies that employers do not need to list “N/A” on unused lines.
