On March 7, 2013, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a new and revised Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9.  The new Form replaces all other forms.  Beginning May 7, 2013, employers must use the new version of the Form (only) for all new hires and for re-verifying current employees with expiring employment authorization documentation.  [Employers should not complete new Forms for existing employees who do not require re-verification.]  A best practice would be for employers to begin using the new edition of the form immediately, although the previous editions of the Form (with an OMB control number expiration date of August 31, 2012) is valid until May 6, 2013.  After this date, only the new Form ("Rev. 03/07/13" is acceptable.
