The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a component of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced recently that it would delay “the implementation of an interim final rule entitled ‘Documents Acceptable for Employment Eligibility Verification’ published in the Federal Register on Dec. 17, 2008.”
The delay allows the DHS time to reconsider the rule and also accept additional public comments since the public comment period has been reopened until March 4, 2009.
The revised version of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, that was to become effective February 2, 2009 has been delayed 60 days until April 3, 2009 pending implementation of the interim final rule.
Contact Vision Payroll if you have any questions on the interim final rule and the revised Form I-9.
