Business Law- How Do I Comply With The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ New Form I-9 for Employment Eligibility Verification?
The Law Firm of Pozzuolo Rodden, P.C., Philadelphia Business Lawyers, announce the release of the article “How Do I Comply With The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ New Form I-9 for Employment Eligibility Verification”?
The Form I-9 for Employment Eligibility Verification (hereinafter “Form I-9”) was first issued by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (hereinafter “USCIS”) in relation to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. The Form I-9 is required to be completed by all employees at the time of hire and must be retained in the records of all employers. The purpose of the Form I-9 is to permit employers to verify that new hires are authorized to legally work in the United States.
On March 8, 2013, the USCIS issued a revised Form I-9 for Employment Eligibility Verification. All employers must begin to use the revised Form I-9 for all new hires by no later May 7, 2013. The USCIS recommends that employers immediately begin using the revised Form I-9, even though the regulations allow a sixty (60) day grace period before mandatory implementation on May 7, 2013.
