New Form I-9 Available August 1st

Recently, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced a new Form I-9 that employers should use beginning August 1, 2023. Employers may continue to use the older Form I-9 through Oct. 31, 2023. After that date, employers will be subject to penalties for using the older form. The new, more stream-lined version, will not be available for download until August 1. 
 
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a final rule that allows the agency to create a framework under which employers can implement alternative document examination procedures, such as remote document examination. The new form has a checkbox to indicate when an employee's Form I-9 documentation was examined using a DHS-authorized alternative procedure.
