1.3. When do I have to complete the I-9 form?

If you are required to complete the Form I-9 process, you will be sent a notification after you accept your first work assignment of the scoring season. This notification will also include initial instructions to start the I-9 process. All other instructions for completing Form I-9 will come from our new third party Form I-9 company.

We ask that you complete the Form I-9 process prior to the start date of your first assignment of the season.

• If you do not complete Section 1, Form I-9 by 4pm ET on the start date of your first assignment of the season, you will not be allowed to continue working on this assignment.
• If you do not complete Section 1 and Section 2, Form I-9 within three days after the start date of your first assignment of the season, you will not be allowed to continue working on this assignment. For instance, if your assignment start date is a Monday, you will have until 4pm ET on Thursday of that week to complete Form I-9 in full. However, please note that you must complete Section 1, Form I-9 by 4pm ET on Monday, (the start date of your first assignment of the season) to be allowed this additional time to complete Form I-9 in full.
• If you are removed from your first assignment of the year because you did not complete Section 1 by 4pm ET on the start date of your first assignment of the season OR your Form I-9 was not completed in full by 4pm ET within three days after the start of your first assignment of the year, you will still be eligible to receive another assignment during the current scoring season. We will make every effort to provide you with a new assignment as soon as one becomes available. However, we cannot guarantee that a new assignment will be provided in the same scoring season. 
• If a new work assignment is provided to you and you accept that assignment, the same Form I-9 rules provided above apply. Note: even if you are removed from your first work assignment because you did not complete Form I-9 on time, we suggest you complete this task. If you do complete Form I-9 and you are provided a new assignment, your Form I-9 will be considered complete, and you will not have to complete an additional Form I-9 for this new assignment.
