For those of you who don’t follow updates to employment compliance forms, you might have missed the big news. The 2/02/09 revision of the Homeland Security Department’s form I-9 was set to expire 6/30/09 and be replaced. When an udpated form wasn’t made available by the expiration date, they permitted the February version to continue to be used.

Well, at long last, the revised I-9 is available.

If your employees filled out the 2/02/09 version of the form, no action is required from you at this point.

If your employees last filled out a version prior to the 2/02/09 edition, you should have them complete the new edition. Take the time to re-verify their documentation to ensure that they still meet the eligibility requirements to work in the United States.

Any new employees should use the 8/07/09 revision.
