Reminder: Use new I-9 starting April 3

In January, the feds pushed back the effective date of a revised Form I-9 just before employers were required to start using it. Well, now the day is almost here.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the delay on Jan. 30 in response to a memorandum from the Obama administration asking federal agencies to freeze certain unimplemented regulations.
The rule updating the Form I-9 was set to take effect on Feb. 2, but was pushed back 60 days to April 3. In the meantime, employers should have been using the previous revision (dated 06/05/07 at the bottom of the last page).
That form should still be used until April 3.
Both the current version and the one employers will be required to switch to on April 3 are available from the USCIS here.

So….. at the end of June, in 3 months, we will have another new form??? I am surprised they have not changed the expiration date on the newest form to be used after the 3rd of April. Lovely….
