How often has the I-9 form been updated?

The I-9 form has undergone revisions to improve clarity, ensure compliance with immigration laws, and enhance user experience. The most recent significant update occurred in 2019, making this option accurate. This revision included changes such as the addition of new guidelines and improved formatting, reflecting the U.S. government's ongoing effort to streamline the employment verification process.

Other choices suggest incorrect frequencies or timelines for updates. The form has not been updated every year since its inception, which would imply ongoing changes too frequent for a document that only needs periodic revisions. Additionally, stating that it has been revised only once overlooks the history of the form, which has been updated multiple times since its introduction in 1986. Lastly, claiming updates occur every five years does not accurately represent the actual frequency of the changes, which have been more sporadic and based on need rather than a set schedule.
