U.S. Alters List of Documents for Verifying Work Eligibility

A new document has been added to the list of acceptable Form I-9 credentials that companies can use to verify the employment eligibility of new hires, says the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which issued the revised document list Nov. 8, 2007.

Employers may now use the new Form I-9—and begin collecting the documents listed—although use of the new form will not be required until a notice is published in the Federal Register, USCIS says. Once the notice has been published, employers who do not use the new Form I-9 could face fines or other penalties, the agency says.
