The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently made two announcements:
- List B Documents. Starting May 1, 2022, DHS and ICE are requiring employers to only accept unexpired List B documents for Form I-9 verification. If an employee presented expired List B documents between May 1, 2020 and April 30, 2022, employers are required to update their Form I-9s by July 31, 2022. To obtain further guidance on requirements, please refer to the List B table here for more information.
