Please look about 9 messages down where I have my posting on the 5/31/05 I-9 update. I failed to put it in my original message, but sent a second posting with it in there.
Good luck.

The Federal government has updated the required I-9 form for the first time since 1991. ALL new employees must fill out this form:

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has updated the I-9 to bring
it in line with current immigration and naturalization regulations.
Your company is REQUIRED to have an I-9 on file for every one of its
employees as proof of citizenship or eligibility to work. You must be
able to present the completed form to an authorized government
representative upon request.
Failure to provide a properly documented I-9 form can result in fines
of up to $1,000 per employee.
Pre-order your updated I-9 form today and ensure you are in
compliance.
Take a look at this form here:

These are available individually or as part of a complete pack
at a limited-time savings of 15%. Go to:

lbrenner: You can also do a google with "I-9 Form" and it will take you to the Revised I-9. You should also explore the threads below your post on the "SAVE Program", the new I-9 Form Revised is directly linked to USCIS and SSA Data Banks. You can now "validate the documents and data contained thereon for your new hires" that are presented as proof of one's right to work in our country. Upon validation you can print of the case information and attach it to the I-9 Revised Form and file it away in your I-9 file. As Don stated, so clearly above, there are serious penalties for failing to complete and maintain a good I-9 documentation program. By the way the new form goes into effect 12/31/2005, but we are all welcome to start using the Revised I-9 now.
My e-mail is open to you if you want to seek any additional help in this new verification system.

Based upon the two post below, I again must provide additional information for the use of lbrenner, other FORUM members or they can stay stuck in defiance of facts, if they choose! From the Employer's Handbook, which I have downloaded from the SAVE PROGRAM, comes the following....To comply with the law, you must verify the identity and employment eligibility of anyone you hire, and complete and retain a form I-9 like the the one contained in the handbook" (which is the Revised Form I-9)! Nothing new here, we always had to do this.
Previously, we were able to accept the pure nature of the documents presented for verification as valid. Effective 12/31/2005 that will no longer be the case. "Verify" will mean the comparsion of the document DATA presented IAW the Law, The immigration Act of 1990, by submitting the data contained in a presented document with the DATA Bank of the USCIS and the SSA. Which does tie in the DATA on the I-9 to the DATA Banks of both the USCIS and SSA.
On our front door there is now a new hiring policy poster which announces: THIS COMPANY HIRES LAWFUL WORKERS ONLY---U.S. CITIZENS OR NATIONALS AND AND NON-CITIZENS WITH VALID WORK AUTHORIZATIONS - WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION. Federal immigration law requires all employers to verify both the identity and employment eligibility of all persons hired to work in the united states.
In its efforts to meet the law's requirement, this company is participating in the Basic Pilot program established by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to aid employers in verifying the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees.......
So don't become confused by my writings or any other FORUM members who shoose to disregard the facts as it pertains to the SAVE PROGRAM and the future happenings in our HR world of work.

In the context of this thing you have on your front door, what are 'nationals'?

According to the new I-9, the # 6 is a presentable document. However, based on the info from the 9/30/97 62 Fed Reg 51001-51006 it isn't. However, I feel this reg is insulting to employers. It's like... we don't want to throw too many changes at you at once to confuse you so you don't have to adbide by this document yet, even though it has been "enacted". So until a new, correct I-9 comes out, (which may be again before the end of the year) I am going to use what it says on the I-9 even though I know it is wrong. I kind of went backwards and "recreated sort of my own List A based on this new Reg. I can fax it to you if you send me your fax no.

Does anyone concur?

2. Certificate of U.S. Citizenship
(USCIS Form N-560 or N-561)

Most of these documents have never been presented to me for use as a List A item; however, the new handbook has a picture of the documents and written words to help one identify the different items that may be presented and used to complete the I-9 Form.

Check it out. It state "Please note the follow changes to the Form I-9 process: etc. etc.
Edit - there is one new form that is now acceptable and thatis Form *-766 (Employment Authorization Document)
Based on the Press Release, I feel comfortable in using the document I downloaded from the SAVE Program instructions.

Also, I haven't been able to find the "Employer's Handbook" (updated version) that goes with the new form. Do you know if it is out there. (One place on the web site I read that it hasn't been updated. Then I ready somewhere else that it was referenced?

1) Immigration Handbooks, Manuals, and Policy Guidlines.
2) Click on Immigration Policy and Procedures Memorandum.
3) When on this site, go to the bottom of the list in the dark blue the left side of the page and click on Immigration and Manuals Handbook for Employer (M-274
4) Click on Handbook for Employers (M-274)
5) Set your printer to print out all 33 pages.
Your are right this handbook and the Re-Branded I-9 are ceritified by USICS for use now. The Rebranded I-9 has most of the changes that will be made in the final I-9 Product. We employers are welcome to use this handbook and form for processing I-9s and be in compliance with the Federal Requirements for identification and verification of the ee's "right to work" in our country until 12/31/2005.
My E-Mail icon is open for you to seek additional information, if you choose. Key words that will be important to you and all employers is the requirement to identify and verify an ee's information contained on the I-9 Form. We never had the ability to verify the information contained on any two documents presented IAW the I-9 Form. We do have the ability to verify the data today!
Good Luck in your search, but don't get confused there is help, just ask me and I will help you in your search for your concerns in this area of interest to all HRs.

I still can't find an "updated" Employer Handbook other than the 1991 version.
