Comply w/New 2026 I-9 Form Rules & Prevent Hefty Violation Fines

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  In March 2026, the federal government is making critical changes to the I-9 process that you are required to comply with when validating new and existing staff for employment.

Regardless of your practice’s size or whether you typically complete the I-9 process internally or use an outside service, the new rules make it very clear that you are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of your filings.

Both the paper and electronic (E-Verify) versions of the I-9 Form have changed. And the new rules have reclassified common 1-9 errors from “correctable” to “immediately fineable” – with violation fines ranging from $288 to $2,861 per form, multiplied across every 1-9 on file.

Don’t risk implementing the numerous I-9 rule changes on your own. Instead, let employment and immigration attorney, Robert Ratliff, JD, help.  On Thursday, May 28^th, at 1pm ET, Robert is presenting a 60-minute online training that will walk you through exactly what you have to do to comply with these significant rule changes the first time.

Here are a few of the takeaways you’ll receive by attending this expert-led online training crafted to help you comply with these critical new requirements:
