Finally! The New I-9 Form and The Extension of the DHS Remote Option Has Been Decided for 2023!

Preparing, correcting and auditing Form I-9 is still a headache for many employers. The form is two pages, but its instructions ran to 15 pages and the related manual to more than 70.

This 90-minute webinar explains the redesign meant to simplify it: Sections 1 and 2 combined on one page, Section 3 moved to a stand-alone Reverification and Rehire Supplement, an updated List of Acceptable Documents with a link to List C documents, instructions cut from 15 pages to 7, and PDF enhancements removed so the form works on any device.

It also covers the DHS flexibility for remote document inspection, the written remote onboarding and telework policy employers need, trending errors and internal audit steps.

• Describe the main changes on the redesigned Form I-9
• Use the Reverification and Rehire Supplement correctly
• Apply the updated List of Acceptable Documents, including List C
• Complete E-Verify fields correctly and avoid device-related violations
• Meet DHS remote document inspection and policy requirements
• Spot trending I-9 errors and run an internal I-9 audit
