Every employer in the U.S. needs to verify the identity and employment eligibility of new hires within three days.  Employers need to use Form I-9 to complete this task and retain the form separate from the employee's personnel file.  On this page you will find updates to Form I-9, "No-Match" rules for when the government notifies an employer that an employee's name and social security number do not match, state-specific immigration laws, and E-Verify.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a Form I-9 Inspection Overview for stakeholders on the agency’s Form I-9 audit process and its civil monetary penalty schedule. ICE’s Worksite Enforcement Unit released the overview on November 19, 2009, the same day that ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton announced that the agency issued Notices of Inspection (NOIs) to 1,000 employers across the country associated with critical infrastructure.
