Form I-9
The U.S. government requires all employers to verify eligibility to work for each person they hire. As part of that verification process, a Form I-9 must be completed by all employees, including student employees. This refers to students who are new to the university payroll system or students who have had a break in service.
There are two sections that must be completed on an employee’s initial Form I-9:

Re-Verification to extend Work Authorization End Date
An individual whose employment authorization has expired must re-verify their form 1-9. Re-verification must occur no later than the date that employment authorization expires. The employee MUST present original documents of their choice from the list of PDF Document: acceptable documents (List A or C). Students may wish to present a combination of documents that indicate their classification is work authorized.
For Example:
- F-1 Students – Form 1-20 in combination with Form 1-94
- J-1 Students – Form DS-2019 in combination with Form 1-94
- H1B Temporary Workers- Form 1-94
- H1B – 240 day automatic extensions
- Same Employer – 1-94 Form
- Switching Employers (Portability) 1-94 Form and Foreign Passport
- OPT – (First Time) -1-766 Employment Authorization Document (EAD Card)
- OPT Stem Extensions – 180 day automatic extension – Expired EAD in combination with form 1-20 endorsed for Stem Extension.
Legal Permanent Residents
Legal Permanent Residents (LPR) are not subject to re-verification whether their LPR card has an expiration date of 2 years or 10 years. Only LPR who enter the country with the 1-551 temporary stamp in their foreign passport are subject to re-verification. In that case, the expiration would be 1 year from the date of entry.
