DHS extends flexibility in requirements related to Form I-9 compliance.
April 1, 2021
ICE announced that it has extended the flexibility of the rules related to Form I-9, the Employment Eligibility Verification form, compliance during the COVID-19 pandemic until May 31, 2021. The current extension includes guidance for employees hired on or after April 1, 2021, and work exclusively in a remote setting due to COVID related precautions. Those employees are temporarily exempt from physical inspection requirements associated with the I-9, until they undertake non-remote work on a regular, consistent, or predictable basis.
