of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">By Jan. 22, 2017, employers must use only the new version, dated 11/14/2016 N. Until then, they can continue to use the version dated 03/08/2013 N or the new version. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Among the changes in the new version, Section 1 asks for “other last names used” rather than “other names used,” and streamlines certification for certain foreign nationals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The instructions have been separated from the form, in line with other USCIS forms, and include specific instructions for completing each field.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The revised Form I-9 is also easier to complete on a computer. Enhancements include drop-down lists and calendars for filling in dates, on-screen instructions for each field, easy access to the full instructions,
and an option to clear the form and start over. When the employer prints the completed form, a quick response (QR) code is automatically generated, which can be read by most QR readers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Form I-9 requirements were established in November 1986 when Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). IRCA prohibits employers from hiring people, including U.S. citizens, for employment
in the United States without verifying their identity and employment authorization on Form I-9.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
