I-9
As required by federal law the university is required to complete and retain a Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification document for all regular and temporary employees.
Completion of Form I-9 is a shared responsibility of both the employee and the university.
- Section #1 must be completed by the employee no later than the first day of employment
- Section #2 must be completed by an authorized university representative on or before the third day of employment.
- Form I-9 can be completed as soon as, but not before, a job offer has been extended and accepted.
Please remember to bring your original and unexpired document(s). You may refer to the list of Acceptable Documents, and choose one from list A or one from list B and C together.
E-Verify
E-Verify is the federal government system operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA). E-Verify uses federal databases to rapidly validate individual identities and work eligibility from the information gathered in the Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification). Federal regulations require organizations that hold contracts with the federal government to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of their employees, regardless of citizenship.
The process involves a meeting between the employee and a U-M E-Verify representative. During this meeting a new Form I-9 is completed and then the employer submits information from an employee's I-9 Form to E-Verify. E-Verify compares that information to records maintained by the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security to confirm if the employee is authorized to work in the United States.
