On May 1, 2022, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ended the COVID-19 Temporary Policy for List B Identity Documents<\/a>. As a result, employers are no longer allowed to accept expired List B<\/a> documents when individuals fill out their Form I-9<\/a>. In addition, if an employee presented an expired List B document between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2022, employers are required to update their Form I-9 by July 31, 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temporary Policy<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

DHS issued the temporary policy in response to the challenges many individuals experienced with renewing List B documents during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that document-issuing agencies have reopened and provide alternatives to in-person renewals, the DHS has ended this flexibility. Employers will need to update Form I-9 for employees who used expired documents from List B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required Form I-9 Updates<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Employers must use the \u201cAdditional Information\u201d field in the form\u2019s Section 2 to enter the title, issuing authority, number, and expiration date of the unexpired document. Employees may present a renewed List B document, a different List B document or a document from List A<\/a>. Employers must also initial and date these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers should note that no action is required for individuals who used expired List B documents if:
\u2022 They are no longer employed; or
\u2022 The List B document was auto-extended by the issuing authority (the document is considered unexpired when presented).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Dates to Remember<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
