Are You Ready to Use the New I-9 Beginning April 3rd?

Beginning April 3, 2009, all Employers are required to use the new I-9 form prepared by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Although the USCIS had originally intended to mandate the use of the form in February, the effective date was changed to April 3, 2009. After April 3rd, employers using the wrong form will be subject to civil and adminstrative penalties.
