I-9 compliance has looked different for some employers since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. Department of Human Services (DHS) has offered continued I-9 flexibility to employers. On August 31, 2021, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that the flexibility will continue through the end of the year.
I-9 compliance flexibility will remain in place for employers with remote-only staff. According to ICE, employers may use flexible rules for employees hired on or after April 1, 2021. This policy applies to staff that works “exclusively in a remote setting due to COVID-19-related precautions.”
The extended policy expires on December 31, 2021. DHS states that it will continue to monitor the ongoing national emergency and provide guidance as needed.
