Hi Onboard users,

Last week, a new I-9 form with a retroactive edition date of Jan 20, 2025 was released. On the same day, we made a post to the Onboard Product Updates page of the Success Community.

You can expect this new edition of the I-9 form to be published to Onboard on the following dates:

• UAT: Thursday, April 24
• Production: Thursday, May 8

Once the new I-9 is published, the standard form versioning effects will be observed. We will reassign any tasks that are canceled as a result of a new form version being published. Form-related tasks will be assigned to the affected users along with the entire task sequence (i.e. any form-related tasks and all of the subsequent contributor tasks) as part of a personal checklist. 

Rest assured that the current Standard I-9 form in Onboard is still valid until the listed expiration date of May 31, 2027. As such, you do not need to make any changes to your existing new hire processing at this time.

Regarding the new edition, the only notable change is that the fourth checkbox in Section 1 for immigration or citizenship has been renamed to “An alien authorized to work” from “A noncitizen authorized to work”.

There are also two more minor updates to the description of some List B documents as well as the I9 form instructions.

Finally, E-Verify integration is not expected to be impacted by this change.

Best,

Onboard Team
