ASK DAVE THE "FORM I-9/E-Verify" EXPERT???
QUESTION: Do I need to create a case in E-Verifyif my company rehires an employee?
ANSWER: If you rehire a former employee within three yearsof his or her previous hire date, you may rely on theinformation on his or her previous Form I-9.If you rehire an employee for whom you nevercreated an E-Verify case and the employee'sprevious Form I-9 lists an expired identity document(List B), then you must complete a new Form I-9and create a case for the employee in E-Verify.If you rehire an employee for whom you created anE-Verify case and the employee's previous Form I-9lists an expired identity document (List B), then youmay either:
Complete Section 3 of the employee's previousForm I-9 and not create a new case for theemployee in E-Verify or
Complete a new Form I-9 for the employeeand create a new case for the employee in E-Verify
For more information on E-Verify, visitwww.dhs.gov/E-Verify, or for myE-Verify visithttp://www.uscis.gov/mye-verify.
