Form I-9 expires
Employers are required by federal law to complete an I-9 form to verify all new employees' eligibility to work in the US. However, on March 31, 2007, the official I-9 form "expired."
(Or, at least, the OMB number at the top of the form expired.)
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, you generally don't have to complete paperwork that doesn't have an un-expired OMB number. Even so, employers are still required to verify employment eligibility for all new employees. So, they should keep using the "expired" form until a new one is issued.
