Employers must post new State of Michigan Veteran poster
Effective 4/2/25, businesses must display a veteran’s resource poster in an area accessible to all employees, per PA 197 of 2004 — enacted by the Michigan Legislature on the final day of its session. The Act requires the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO), in collaboration with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, to provide these posters for free with a list of resources available to veterans. The two versions of the poster are available at LEO’s website.
New I-9 form
On April 2, 2025, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services updated its Employment Eligibility Verification form (Form I-9) and the Department of Homeland Security Privacy Notice in the form’s instructions to align with statutory language. The revised Form I-9 is dated 01/20/25 and has an expiration date of 05/31/2027. Key updates include: renaming the fourth checkbox in Section 1 to “An alien authorized to work;” revising the descriptions of two List B documents in the Lists of Acceptable Documents; and adding appropriate statutory language and a revised DHS Privacy Notice to the instructions. Starting April 3, 2025, E-Verify and E-Verify+ will have updated the Citizenship Status selection during case creation to reflect this statutory language. The selection “A noncitizen authorized to work” will be updated to “An alien authorized to work.” Additionally, E-Verify users creating cases through Web Services applications will see the employee status attestation automatically updated to “An alien authorized to work”—even if the WS application submits “A noncitizen authorized to work” if the employee selected citizenship status number four on Form I-9.
