Everything You Never Wanted to Know but Need to Know About I-9s: Free NASMM Business Development Webinar — January 22, 2026

Under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, all U.S. businesses must complete and maintain an accurate Form I-9 for every employee, verifying identity and work eligibility using specific documents — and doing it within 3 days of a new hire.

An I-9 Form is used to verify that an employee is legally authorized to work in the U.S. Every employer, no matter how small, is required by law to complete and retain one for each employee — with very complicated rules that seem to be continually changing.

Why it matters: With ICE ramping up audits, even small businesses are being targeted. Fines can be steep — even for paperwork errors. Enforcement is up, and the spotlight is on employers.

According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is the federal agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that oversees lawful immigration to the United States, 76% of paper I-9s have at least one error. Jackson Lewis estimates up to 80% are flawed.

And the fines? Between $289-$2,789 per violation. Not per form, per violation.
