U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services updated the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification to extend the expiration date to 05/31/2027.
August 2, 2024: The expiration date for the I-9 form has been extended to May 31, 2027. Employers must now use Form I-9 with the edition date of 08/1/23, which may display an expiration date of either 07/31/2026 or 05/31/2027. Both forms are valid until their respective expiration dates. To streamline compliance, downloads available on the Form I-9 download page will now exclusively feature the new expiration date of 05/31/2027.
Employers are encouraged to update their electronic Forms I-9 systems to incorporate the 05/31/2027 expiration date as soon as possible. The transition must be completed no later than July 31, 2026, which is the expiration date on the previously issued Form I-9.
This training will go over any changes and compliance initiatives to make the I-9 form compliance less confusing.
As a former external auditor hired by DHS, to review over 7,000 I-9 forms and make corrections, it is critical to review your I-9 forms now as the new I-9 forms have been launched Employers and their representatives need to be clear about what I-9 Form compliance efforts are expected.
Along with the New 2024 I-9 Form, there have been changes in the E-Verify compliance with new options for employees.
As E-Verify continues to make their NextGen program a push for 2024, they predict that the error rate on the I-9 form will be reduced because the errors made by Employers have been most of the reason for the error rate.
So what should employers do now as they mitigate their I-9 correction process and conduct internal audits? They should conduct their internal/external audits based on the current changes made to the current I-9 form. DHS has established what the errors are for 2024 and it is easy to be complacent but, audits will be pending soon.
Why one should attend the training:
How Do Employers Get Audited?
Generally, ICE enforces an employer’s obligation to verify, and re-verify, the work authorization of all new employees. ICE may enforce this responsibility through random I-9 compliance audits or a narrower investigation based on a lead.
The lead can be an anonymous tip or facts that form a reasonable suspicion of an employer’s non-compliance. ICE has been concentrating its recent enforcement efforts on investigations, not random audits like previously.
