On or before May 7, 2013, Employers must use the new I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form (“Form I-9”) to comply with employment eligibility verification responsibilities for all new hires.

The new Form I-9 was released by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) on March 8, 2013. The new form is available for immediate use, though the USCIS has established a 60-day transition period from the date of publication to ease the burden of implementation on employers. During that transition period, employers will be able to use either prior versions or the new updated Form I-9.
