Alleged New I-9 Form

A press release on the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services web site announces that DHS has re-branded the I-9 form with a revision date of 5/31/05. Already we are hearing that some less than scrupulous companies are suggesting that all employers must use this new version of the form. That is patently false. The press release states that employers are free to use the 11/21/91 version of the form. Moreover, the press release makes it clear that there are no substantive revisions to the form. Click below for a copy of the press release.
