On July 17, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released a revised version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. By September 18, 2017, employers must use the revised form with a revision date of 07/17/17 N.
None of the revisions impact the completion of forms. For more details on the revisions within the form, please see the USCIS publication at https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/whats-new.
In order to ensure compliance by September 18, we ask that you begin using the updated version immediately. Downloading and using the current version from the HR Forms page for each new hire will ensure you have the most current version of the form. Forms submitted on an outdated version after September 18 will be returned and the new form will need to be completed.
We encourage you to complete the electronic I-9 instead of printing and writing in the information. This reduces the possibility of errors and hiring delays. If you’d like a refresher on the I-9 process or have any questions regarding the I-9, please contact Jenny Charapata in Human Resources at 920-465-2326 or charapaj@uwgb.edu.
