A copy of the amended Form I-9 reflecting these changes will be published as an attachment to this rule. The affect of this rule is to improve the integrity of the employment eligibility verification process by simplifying the list of acceptable documents for ease of use by employers, ensuring that the list contains secure and fraud-resistant documents, and adding safeguards to the verification process.
