In light of the stay at home orders in place around the nation and limitations for online renewal services due to COVID-19, employees may experience challenges in renewing identification documents from List B on the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (e.g. state driver’s license, ID card, etc.). In light of this, the Department of Homeland Security is issuing a temporary policy.<\/p>\n
Beginning on May 1, 2020, List B documents that are set to expire on or after March 1, 2020 and not otherwise extended by the issuing authority may be treated the same as if the employee presented a valid receipt for an acceptable document for Form I-9 purposes.<\/p>\n
Employers should record the document information in Section 2 under list B, as applicable, and enter the word “COVID-19” in the additional information field.<\/p>\n
Within 90 days after the termination of this temporary policy, the employee will then be required to present a valid and unexpired document. Once they provide this, the employer should record the number and other required document information from the document and initial and date the change.<\/p>\n
If an issuing authority extends an expired List B document due to COVID-19, the employer should enter the document’s expiration date in Section 2 and enter “COVID-19 EXT” in the additional information field. The employee is not required to later present a valid unexpired List B document in this occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
