Earlier this year, United States Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) announced a new version of Form I-9 Employment
Eligibility Verification with an edition date of October 21, 2019.
This development comes in the wake of a previous USCIS instruction
directing employers to continue using the Form I-9 version with an
expiration date of August 31, 2019 until a revised version was
released.
While the effective date of this new version of Form I-9 is
January 31, 2020, employers have until April 30, 2020 to continue
using the prior version (Rev. 07/17/2017 N). A copy of the
revised form can be found here, along with
instructions. USCIS has allowed employers this additional time to
make necessary updates and adjust their business processes.
