As of May 1, 2022, all employers must only accept unexpired List B identity documents as part of the I-9 process.
After July 15, 2022, e-Verify will no longer provide extended timeframes for employees to visit the Social Security Administration (SSA) to resolve Social Security mismatches.
During COVID-19 pandemic, USCS and DHS temporarily allowed employers to accept expired List B identity documents as part of the I-9 process. It was acceptable for employers to accept expired state IDs or driver’s licenses for List B if the document expired on or after March 1, 2020, and the state extended the document expiration date due to COVID-19.
This temporary policy ended on May 1, 2022. Employers have until July 31, 2022 to update their I-9 Forms for employees that presented expired List B documents between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2022. A chart detailing these changes can be found here.
Similarly, due to the closure of SSA offices to the public, USCIS allowed employers participating in E-Verify to postpone dealing with Social Security mismatches (cases in which an employee’s Social Security number did not match the number in the E-Verify database resulting in a “TNC” or “tentative non-confirmation”). Before the pandemic, an employee contesting a TNC was required to contact the SSA within 8 federal working days or risk getting a Final Non-confirmation and loss of employment. Beginning March 2, 2020, this requirement was temporarily suspended. uscis e-verify
As of July 15, 2022, employees receiving a TNC for a Social Security mismatch will again be required to contact the SSA within 8 federal working days to resolve the mismatch. Employees with mismatches between March 2, 2020 and July 14, 2022 have until September 29, 2023 to resolve their cases.
