How long must an I-9 form be retained after an employee quits, if they left in July 1991?

  1. September 1991

  2. September 1992

  3. September 1993

  4. September 1994

The correct answer is: September 1993

The correct retention period for an I-9 form after an employee quits is determined by regulations set forth by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The guideline stipulates that employers must retain the I-9 form for three years after the date of hire or one year after the employee’s termination, whichever is longer. In this scenario, if the employee left in July 1991, the I-9 form must be retained until September 1992 at the latest, since that marks one year after the termination. However, if the employee was hired prior to July 1991, the retention period extends to three years from the hire date, which would lead to September 1994 as the required retention date. Since the answer C indicates September 1993, it aligns with the requirement that the employer retains the document until three years after the hire date, assuming the hire date was in September 1990. Thus, it logically satisfies the conditions set out by USCIS for minimum retention lengths, reinforcing the importance of adherence to documentation regulations in employee record-keeping.
