USCIS Issues Notice on New Form I-9 Posted Nov 30, 2007 ©MurthyDotCom The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a notice in the Federal Register on November 26, 2007, to introduce a newly amended Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The amended form incorporates the current regulations on the identity and employment authorization of newly-hired and returning employees. MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers were informed of this matter in our November 16, 2007 article USCIS Releases New Form I-9 for Employment Eligibility. ©MurthyDotCom The amended Form I-9 is the only valid version, as of November 7, 2007. Employers will not be penalized by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for using a previous version of Form I-9 on or before December 26, 2007, however. This timeframe reflects a 30-day transition from the time of the initial Notice on November 26, 2007 for U.S. employers to make all necessary adjustments to commence using the amended form. ©MurthyDotCom Form I-9 Available Online ©MurthyDotCom Both Form I-9 and the Employer Handbook are accessible on the USCIS WebSite. Employers who do not have web access may order USCIS forms by calling 800.870.3676.
