USCIS updates Federal Form I-9; New Form mandatory starting September 18, 2017

On July 17, 2017, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) updated Federal Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form.

Between July 17, 2017 and September 17, 2017, U.S. employers may use either the Form I-9 version date November 14, 2017 or version date July 17, 2017 for their newly hired employees.

However, starting on September 18, 2017, all U.S. employers are required to complete Form I-9 version date July 17, 2017 for their newly hired employees.
