U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced this week that it would extend temporary Form I-9 flexibilities that were first implemented at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently modified and extended in March 2021.
Key Points:
Additional Information: ICE introduced the temporary measures in March 2020 and has extended them numerous times since, most recently in April. DHS proposed to formalize its authority to allow optional alternatives to physical examination for certain employers in August. The agency is currently accepting public feedback on the proposal through Oct. 17.
USCIS has confirmed that employers should continue using the Form I‑9, Employment Eligibility Verification, after its expiration date of Oct. 31, 2022, until further notice. DHS will publish a Federal Register notice to announce the new version of the Form I‑9 once it becomes available. BAL will provide updates as new information becomes available.
