Current Form I-9 to Remain Valid Beyond June 30, 2009

On June 26, 2009, the United States and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that the current version of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (dated 02/02/09) will continue to be valid for use beyond June 30, 2009, despite the fact that this version of the form bears an expiration date of June 30, 2009. USCIS intends to continue to use the same version of the Form I-9 and, pending review by the Office of Management and Budget, will re-issue the "revised" form with a new expiration date. Once the USCIS updates the Form I-9, employers will be permitted to use either the form with the new revision date or the current form with the June 30, 2009 expiration date.
