U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that the current version of the Form I-9, which employers must use to verify the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employees, will continue to be valid for use beyond June 30. Employers should continue to use the form with the notation “(Rev. 02/02/09)” in the bottom corner.
USCIS has requested that the Office of Management and Budget formally approve the continued use of the current version of the form. While USCIS is awaiting formal approval, the current Form I-9 will not expire.
USCIS will update the form when OMB approves the extension. According to USCIS, employers will then be able to use either the Form I-9 with the new revision date or the Form I-9 with the Feb. 2 revision date at the bottom of the form.
