WORKSITE ENFORCEMENT

• Verification System interoperable between DHS and SSA
• Must electronically re-check all U.S. workers, including
citizens
• Machine-readable, tamper-proof ID containing biometrics
• Documents used to verify employment limited to tamperresistant and machine-readable Social Security Card or
Employment Authorization Document
• Substantial increase in fines
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP

I-9 UPDATE
• On October 30, 2004, the President signed a new
bill into law, amending Section 274A(b) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
• The law became effective on April 28, 2005
• The new law permits, but does not require,
employers to complete, sign and store I-9s
electronically
• The new law allows employers to go “paperless.”
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
6
I-9 UPDATE
(con’t)
• DHS finally published implementing regulation on
June 15, 2006
• New I-9 regulation is technology-neutral
• Permits employers to adopt any electronic storage
technology so long as it meets certain minimum
standards, including adequate security features that
• limit access to authorized personnel
• insure data integrity
• provide means for producing hard copies
• include search and indexing mechanisms
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
7
SSA “NO MATCH” LETTERS
• ICE published proposed rule on June 14, 2006
• Provided suggested procedures for employers
who receive SSA “no match” letter
• Procedures also apply when employers receive
notification from DHS that immigration status or
EAD reported for employee does not match
agency records
• Employers who follow suggested procedures would
be provided with “safe harbor” against sanctions
• ICE is accepting comments and final rule may
reflect public input
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
8
SSA “NO MATCH” LETTERS
(con’t)
• Employers who receive “no match” notification are
advised to:
•
1. Check their records for possible clerical errors
2. If necessary, request the employee's confirmation of
the employer's records
3. If the discrepancy still cannot be resolved, repeat the
Form I-9 employment eligibility verification process.
If properly followed, these procedures could safeguard
the employer from a finding that it knowingly hired or
continued to employ an unauthorized worker in violation
of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
(IRCA).

DHS’s NEW IMAGE PROGRAM
• DHS announced program in July 2006
– ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and
Employers (IMAGE), created by U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
– Designed to build cooperative relationships
between government and businesses and reduce
unauthorized employment
– Participation is voluntary
– Companies that comply with program
requirements will be “IMAGE certified”
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
10
IMAGE
(con’t)
• Employer participants must:
– Agree to a Form I-9 audit by ICE
– Use USCIS’s Basic Pilot Employment Verification
Program when hiring employees
• Basic Pilot is an internet-based system that provides an
automatic link to federal databases to help employers
determine eligibility of new hires
• To date, Basic Pilot has experienced substantial delays in
providing verification to employers
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
11
IMAGE
(con’t)
• To become IMAGE-certified, employers must
adhere to “best practices” such as:
– Creating internal training programs for completing
employment verification forms and detecting
fraudulent documents
– Arranging for audits by neutral parties
– Establishing protocols for responding to SSA nomatch letters
– Establishing a tip line for employees to report
violations
– Establishing mechanisms for company to self-report
violations to ICE
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
12
IMAGE
(con’t)
• Benefits to employers:
– ICE will provide training and education to IMAGE partners on
proper hiring procedures, fraudulent document detection and
anti-discrimination laws
– ICE will also share data with employers on the latest illegal
schemes used to circumvent legal hiring processes
– ICE will review the hiring and employment practices of IMAGE
partners and work collaboratively with them to correct isolated,
minor compliance issues that are detected
– Participation in IMAGE will help companies reduce unauthorized
employment and minimize identity theft

WHO CAN WORK IN THE UNITED
STATES?
• U.S. Citizens
• Lawful Permanent Residents
• Nonimmigrants with work authorization from
the USCIS
• Students with work authorization (typically an
“EAD”)
• Others (refugees, asylees, TPS) with work
authorization
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
16
BASIC I-9 REQUIREMENTS
• Complete I-9 for every new hire since
November 6, 1986
• May not hire or continue to employ
someone who is not authorized to work
in the U.S.
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
17
WHO TO I-9
• I-9 employees, not independent contractors
• Do not I-9 employees working outside the
United States or its territories
• All employees in the US, even if on payroll
abroad
• I-9 temporary and part time employees
Copyright © 2006 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP
18
CONTRACTORS & TEMPORARY
AGENCIES
• No I-9 form is needed for true independent
contractors
• If you contract with a temporary agency for
personnel, follow the following guidelines:
• Clearly identifying the agency as the “employer”
• Indicate the agency will comply with State and Federal requirements
including, but not limited to, proper I-9 completion and maintenance.
• Include an indemnification clause
• Entering into a contract with “knowledge” of
unlawful status can remove the independent
contractor protection.
