Employment Eligibility Verification

Employment Eligibility Verification, commonly known as Form I-9, is a process used in the U.S. to confirm that individuals are authorized to work legally. When someone starts a new job, they must provide documents that prove their identity and work authorization, such as a passport or a Social Security card. Employers are responsible for completing this verification within a specific timeframe after hiring. This process helps ensure that only eligible individuals can work in the country, which is important for legal compliance and protecting workers' rights.
