I-9 EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION

Officially known as the Employment Eligibility Verification Form  I-9, is a document employers use in the United States to verify their employees' identity and employment eligibility. 

The form is mandated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services  (USCIS), part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The  purpose of Form I-9 is to ensure that all employees hired in the United  States are authorized to work and that employers do not hire  individuals who are not eligible for employment. U.S. citizens and  non-citizens must complete Form I-9 when an employer hires them.
