The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) makes it unlawful for an employer to knowingly hire or continue to employ an immigrant not authorized to be employed in the United States. Under IRCA, employers must comply with the requirements of verifying employment eligibility of all employees they hire by completing a Form I-9.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) recently issued a revised Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9, which is available for immediate use and replaces all prior versions of the form effective May 7. After this date, only the new form with a revision date of "03/08/13" may be used. The new form is for use with new hires only; the USCIS is not requiring employers to complete the new form for existing employees.
