Who can initiate reverification process through I-9 Console?

Only I-9 Specialists can initiate Reverification process through I-9 Console.

When do you get access to this option in I-9 Console actions?

The availability of 'Initiate Reverification' option in I-9 Console actions is dependent on the 'Reverification Trigger Days' set in I-9 Options.

This filing action is visible in I-9 Console when work authorization expiry falls within the number of reverfication trigger days specified in I-9 Options, 

Click the Menu icon and navigate to I-9 Options in the left nav.

In the I-9 Options page, by default the reverification trigger days is set to 90. But this value can be changed based on your requirement. You can also enable auto launch of reverfication process and mention the contacts to receive email notifications.

After entering the details, click Save. 

When work authorization expiry falls within the reverfication trigger days specified in I-9 options, the users can see this filing action under I-9 Console actions.

How is work authorization expiry date calculated?

WAE date is calculated by considering Section 1 employment authorization expiration date or Section 2 employment authorization document expiry date whichever is sooner.

When the revefication process is initiated it launches an additional invitation that has the I-9 Specialist facing Section 3 activity.

However, you can initiate another reverification or reverification correction process from I-9 console actions to make changes to the entered details.

Note:

For these transactions, the option to initiate reverification doesn't appear under I-9 Console actions.
