The USCIS has published a Notice in the Federal Register announcing the release of the revised Form I-9. Employers should begin using the revised form immediately. There is, however, a 60-day grace period before penalties may be imposed for using a previous version of the form.
The final changes to the form include additional instructions, an expanded two-page layout, and new data fields for employees to list their email addresses and phone numbers. Employers should be sure that they update their policies and handbooks to reflect the changes in the revised form and instructions. In addition, employers that use an electronic I-9 system should confirm that their systems are compatible with the revised form.
