Form I-9 & E-Verify: Hot Topics – Real Answers
During this 30 Minutes of Excellence Session, presenters will discuss the most current Form I-9 and address many areas including common mistakes made while completing the I-9, how the I-9 can be completed on a new hire before they start working for pay, along with best practices for reviewing and copying documents, making corrections, reverifying documents and what to do if you’re missing an I-9. In addition, we will also discuss E-Verify, the free web-based service and a partnership between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). This one-of-a-kind system allows enrolled employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their new hires. At the federal level, E-Verify is voluntary for most users although mandatory, with various legislative requirements, in over 20 states and for a host of federal contractors. During this session we’ll review recent changes and updates in E-Verify, the earliest you can create an E-Verify case, how to handle a mismatch case along with ‘good-to-know’ best practices. We’ll wrap up the session with an exciting preview of E-Verify’s future – NextGen.
