USCIS: Current Form I-9 Valid Until January 21, 2017

Revised Form Expected to Be Published By November 22, 2016

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that employers may continue using the current version of Form I-9 until January 21, 2017. After that date, all previous versions of Form I-9 will be invalid. USCIS is expected to publish a revised form by November 22, 2016.

Federal law requires employers to hire only individuals who may legally work in the United States—either U.S. citizens or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization. To comply with the law, employers must verify the identity and employment authorization of each person they hire by completing and retaining Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification).
