ICE Extends I-9 Compliance Flexibility
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced an
extension of flexibilities in rules related to Form I-9 (Employment
Eligibility Verification) compliance due to continued precautions
related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy is extended until
March 31, 2021.
About a year ago, the Department of Homeland Security deferred
physical presence requirements associated with the I-9 process. The
policy applies only to employers and workplaces operating
remotely.
