Check Your I-9’s that were completed during COVID

During COVID, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) temporarily allowed employers to use expired documents, such as driver’s licenses and state ID cards, to meet the required List B identity documents for I-9 purposes. As issuing authorities are returning to more normal operations, this practice is ending on May 1st and employers will no longer be able to accept expired identity documents when verifying an employee's work eligibility on Form I-9. Employers must update the I-9s of current employees who presented expired List B documents between May 1, 2020 and April 30, 2022 by July 31st.
