From pamella.johnson at state.or.us Mon Jul 17 09:12:50 2017 From: pamella.johnson at state.or.us (Pamella Johnson) Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2017 16:12:50 +0000 Subject: [OSSSA218] New Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form Message-ID: <95d2f8b9f50347a3ba138c2bea8347d9@v-exchdb01.a4590.pers.state.or.us> Good morning: Effective today, July 17, 2017, revisions have been made to the existing Form I-9. Specifics from the USCIS are found below: USCIS released a revised version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, on July 17. Instructions for how to download Form I-9 are available on the Form I-9 page. Employers can use this revised version or continue using Form I-9 with a revision date of 11/14/16 N through Sept. 17. On Sept. 18, employers must use the revised form with a revision date of 07/17/17 N. Employers must continue following existing storage and retention rules for any previously completed Form I-9. Revisions to the Form I-9 instructions: * We changed the name of the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices to its new name, Immigrant and Employee Rights Section. * We removed "the end of" from the phrase "the first day of employment." Revisions related to the List of Acceptable Documents on Form I-9: * We added the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240) to List C. Employers completing Form I-9 on a computer will be able to select Form FS-240 from the drop-down menus available in List C of Sections 2 and 3. E-Verify users will also be able to select Form FS-240 when creating a case for an employee who has presented this document for Form I-9. * We combined all the certifications of report of birth issued by the Department of State (Form FS-545, Form DS-1350, and Form FS-240) into selection C #2 in List C. * We renumbered all List C documents except the Social Security card. For example, the employment authorization document issued by the Department of Homeland Security on List C changed from List C #8 to List C #7. Thank you.
