After months of waiting, a new I-9 form has been released. Employers are still allowed to use the previous version of the I-9 until April 30th, 2020. After that date, the new version of the I-9 must be utilized. A significant change to the original form includes the ability for an employer to designate an “Authorized Representative” to assist in completing the employer requirement of the forms. This Authorized Representative is responsible for completing Section 2 of the I-9 which includes examining evidence of identity and employment authorization on behalf of the employer. Additionally, clarification to the list of “Acceptable Documents” have been made, and a full list of those accepted documents are available on the last page of the I-9 forms. We have attached copies of both the I-9 forms as well as the I-9 instructions for your review and utilization. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out the Association.
