Use of the new form is mandatory starting May 7, 2013.

As we reported earlier, on March 8, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a newly revised Employment Eligibility Verification form, Form I-9, which employers are required to use to verify the identity and employment authorization of newly hired employees.1 Employers must use the new Form I-9 immediately. Use of prior versions of the Form I-9 is no longer permitted. The Federal Register announcement from March 8, 2013, details these new requirements.2

Where Can I Find the New Form?
