Important reminder: according to the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) press release here, beginning Jan. 22, 2017, employers must use the 11/14/2016 N version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to verify the identity and work eligibility of every new employee hired after Nov. 6, 1986, or for the reverification of expiring employment authorization of current employees (if applicable).

Prior versions of the form will no longer be valid for use. Employers who fail to use Form I-9 11/14/2016 N on or after Jan. 22, 2017 may be subject to all applicable penalties under section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324a, as enforced by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

We covered the changes in the new Form I-9 in our post USCIS Releases NEW Form I-9.

And another reminder: adopting an automated I-9 and E-Verify solution, such as Tracker’s I-9 Complete is the best way to eliminate compliance risks with I-9 Forms and fees. Our powerful compliance logic makes it virtually impossible to process an I-9 that contains errors.
