Form i-9

MSU Human Resources verifies employment eligibility for the university using the Form I-9 online system. New employees as well as unit/department administrators share a responsibility for completing sections of the I-9 Form.

Newly hired and rehired employees to the university must complete Section 1 of the I-9 Form on or before the first day of employment. Original, unexpired documents from either List A or List B and C must be presented to the unit verifier within three calendar days of the first day of employment. I-9 forms can be completed up to six months in advance of an employees start date as long as an offer for employment has been made and accepted by the employee.

Training for the Electronic I-9 System

If you complete I-9 forms or need access to I-9s as an administrator, you must first complete training in order to receive access to the electronic I-9 system. Visit the Training & Security Access page for information on how to complete this training. Employees who need assistance utilizing the electronic system should contact MSU Human Resources at HR.I9Admin@hr.msu.edu or 517-353-4434.

Annual I-9 Compliance Recertification 

New I-9 verifiers will need to take the I-9 Compliance Initial Training before access can be granted by their departmental IT Security Administrator in D6501.  

Current I-9 Verifiers that have completed the  I-9 Compliance Initial Training, will need to complete the annual I-9 Refresher course 365 days from the date of when the new I-9 Compliance Initial Training was completed (any time after June 21, 2021).

A new or revised eARM form is not needed for current I-9 verifiers in order to complete the Compliance Training.   

I-9 verifiers would still need to pass the test with an 80% score or better and the test is limited to three (3) attempts.
