I-9 Law and Rule Change

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is amending its regulations governing the types of
acceptable identity and employment authorization documents and receipts that employees may present to their employers for completion of the Form I–9, Employment Eligibility Verification.
Under this interim rule, employers will no longer be able to accept expired documents to verify employment authorization on the Form I–9. This rule also adds a new document to the list of

This rule is effective February 2, 2009.
