Overview:
Many employers underestimate the risks of I-9 non-compliance, assuming that a missing signature or late submission is a minor issue. However, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) take I-9 violations seriously, and the fines can add up quickly. When you add all the inconsistent changes.
When you add changes in the I-9 Form, E-Verify process, expiration dates, and other changes, it is not unexpected that Employers and professionals are confused on how to stay compliant and eliminate fines and penalties. An incomplete or incorrect I-9 form can lead to massive headaches.
DHS recommends the use of E-Verify and has reported that E-Verify could be mandated by the current Administration for all companies.
Areas covered in this Training:
· Learn what the updates are on the I-9 Form effective 2026
· Learn how to properly review the I-9 Form for errors that will save you liability concerns
· Learn how to make corrections on I-9 Forms as per DHS guidelines
· Learn how the DHS Electronic guidelines include an I-9 Form verification Policy
· Learn why, if the I-9 Form is 1 document and other supplements, there are a 15-page instructions and a 65+ page manual, is this document so difficult to complete?
· Learn how to distinguish between E-Verify mandates that are new and those that are previous guidelines
· Learn why the E-Verify process is getting pressure to be mandated by private companies
· Learn how Employers’ failure to add the E-Verify closure number to the I-9 Form is a huge error
· Learn how completing the E-Verify process still includes copies of documents
· Learn how to correct errors from E-Verify and how to track them
· Learn how to ensure your I-9 Form and E-Verify process meets the remote guidelines
