How to determine if a job applicant is eligible for employment

You must verify that each new employee is legally eligible to work in the United States. Both you and the employee must complete the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. You can get the form from INS offices. Call the INS at 1-800-755-0777 for more information about your responsibilities, or visit the web site below.
