On Jan. 12, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released their latest version of the “Handbook for Employers” (M-274). Federal immigration law requires that all U.S. employers verify the identity and employment authorization for every worker they hire after Nov. 6, 1986, regardless of the employee’s immigration status.
The handbook is the service’s official guide to completion of the I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form and serves as an important resource to employers in the employment eligibility process. Additionally, the handbook offers guidance on E-Verify requirements, as well as the anti-discrimination provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The new handbook replaces the previous edition, which took effect in April 2009.
