Immigration: I-9 Form Changes on the Way

In other immigration news, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also recently announced that it is drafting a rule that will reduce the number of documents that can be used establish identity and work eligibility in the I-9 process.

Currently, the I-9 Form lists 29 categories of documents that can be used to establish identity and work eligibility. According to DHS, “Employers have little capacity to verify the authenticity of these documents, and the sheer quantity of accepted documents is an invitation to fraud. This regulation will reduce unlawful employment by weeding out insecure documents now used often for identity fraud.”
