USCIS Issues Reminder on New Form I-9, Releases New Handbook for Employers

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has again issued a reminder that a new Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, has been released. As of May 1, 2020, employers can use only the new form with a 10/21/2019 edition date located in the lower left corner of the form. The earlier version (dated 07/17/17) should no longer be used. In related news, USCIS has also released a revised M-274 Handbook for Employers.

A revised Spanish edition with the same date (10/21/2019) is available for use in Puerto Rico only.
