New Hires and Expired I-9 Documentation During Covid

HR professionals – during this era of Covid-19, how are you handling new hires who have expired list B documents for their I-9 forms?

Many new hires tend to give a Driver’s License as a List B document for employment authorization, but what if the license is recently expired and the new hire cannot get to DMV or renew online?  Here is the temporary policy issued by USCIS for expired List B documents which went into effect on 5/1/2020 for documents expiring on or after March 20, 2020.

It’s important to stay on top of this policy and follow up for the new documentation from the employee as it will have an impact in the event of an audit.
