Thanks for watching and providing feedback - Jodi talks about the EVerify option at the 6:10 minute mark. This video primarily focused on what employers need to do to comply with the I-9 requirements for new employees hired during the COVID-related policy changes. And you are correct that employers can use the alternative method moving forward if they are enrolled in EVerify.

Employers may do an I-9 audit for a number of reasons - it could be part of a larger HR audit, it could be part of a compliance procedure where some/all of the completed I-9s are reviewed on a regular schedule, or it might be the result of recent changes to the I-9 form and verification process. It doesn’t necessarily mean that something is wrong.
The short answer is yes. The I-9 form allows an employer to “designate an authorized representative to act on your behalf to complete Section 2. An authorized representative can be any person you designate to complete and sign Form I-9 on your behalf. You are liable for any violations in connection with the form or the verification process, including any violations in connection with the form or the verification process, including any violations of the employer sanctions laws committed by the person designated to act on your behalf.” So, as long as the person you designate is not the employee themselves, you are free to choose anyone you’d like. However, you (the employer) are still liable for the accuracy and completeness of the I-9 form, including the section the ‘authorized representative’ completed - so choose wisely!
Very helpful - thanks for the I9 info!
Happy to help - Thanks for watching our videos!”
This isn't accurate. You can remotely complete I-9 with the alternative method moving forward if you are enrolled in EVerify.
Yes, this is true.

I have been hired in 2008, wondering why my employer is doing an i9 audit on me just now, August 2023.

@@HRMServices thank you, found out that the company’s system had some changes and some employees’ info didn’t merge somehow.
Can the I-9 be verifyed by a Friend or a family member?
The short answer is yes. The I-9 form allows an employer to “designate an authorized representative to act on your behalf to complete Section 2.
