Q. "A new I-9 form has been released. What do we need to know to stay compliant?"

Answer:

While this new I-9 form doesn't have many changes outside a few wording updates, staying compliant with Form I-9 requirements is crucial. Here are a few things you can do to ensure you stay compliant:

  • Understand the Changes: Familiarize yourself with the revisions, no matter how small.

  • Begin Using the New Form: Transition to using the new version as soon as possible to avoid errors and potential penalties.

  • Properly Retain Old Forms: The new form doesn't negate the need to keep those records, so maintain your current retention system.

You can find detailed information about the specific changes and access the new form on the USCIS website.
