A new edition of the Form I-9 was recently published allowing employers who are enrolled in E-Verify and in good standing to virtually inspect the identity and work authorization documents presented by new hires. The newly announced change incentivizes employers who are not otherwise required to use E-Verify by state or local law or a federal contract with the FAR E-Verify clause to voluntarily enroll in E-Verify in order to take advantage of virtual inspection. This session will review the new edition of the Form I-9, the parameters of the virtual inspection process, and E-Verify program compliance.
