COVID-era Form I-9 temporary measures come to an end today, a day before a new Department of Homeland Security I-9 regulation goes into effect.
Key Points:
Reminder: Employers have until Aug. 30 to conduct follow-up document inspections for employees whose Form I-9 identity and work authorization documents were inspected remotely under the temporary COVID-19 measures. The follow-up inspections can be completed under the new DHS rule, provided the employer (1) was enrolled in E-Verify at the time the employee was hired, (2) created an E-Verify case for the employee in question and (3) performed a remote Form I-9 document inspection for the employee under the temporary measures between March 20, 2020, and July 31, 2023. Employers that do not meet these requirements must physically review documents by Aug. 30.
BAL Analysis: The new remote verification option is welcome news for employers, especially because it will be available in some cases to employers who must complete follow-up document review for employees hired during the pandemic. Employers are encouraged to continue working closely with BAL on Form I-9 compliance matters.
