On Friday, January 30, 2009, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that they were delaying the implementation of the new employment authorization documentation regulations.  USCIS has also delayed the effective date of the new I-9 Form that was scheduled to go into use on February 2, 2009.  Employers should continue to use the June 2007 version of Form I-9 for all employment verifications until further notice. 

Jackson & Hertogs will continue to monitor the status of the I-9 form and the employment authorization regulations, and will update clients as information becomes available. 

Employers may wish to review our FAQ on Form I-9, which address many common I-9 questions.  If you have questions or concerns about I-9 procedures, please contact your Jackson & Hertogs attorney.  Jackson & Hertogs provides comprehensive I-9 services, including training of HR staff, auditing of I-9 files, and electronic I-9 completion and storage.
