Form I-9 Tip

When an existing employee’s employment authorization documentation expires the employer must reverify a List Aor List C document. It’s a good practice to remind employees 90 days in advance that they must present a valid document showing they are still authorized to w ork. Find more information about reverification on pages 12 and 13 of the M-274 Handbook for Employers and on I-9 Central.

Reminder: Employers should not reverify U.S. Citizens or noncitizen nationals or lawful permanent residents (LPRs) who presented a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551) or List B documents.
