The only activity that shows under My Tasks for an I-9 Specialist is Complete I-9. Complete I-9 is the completion of Section 2 of Form I-9, and attestation that the New Hire's information has been verified. In case of a Rehire/Reverification transaction, Complete I-9 is only Section 3 activity of Form I-9.
Completion of the I-9 form is a requirement to be hired in the United States. Completion of the form as part of Smart Onboarding includes validation of the New Hire's I-9 information by the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
This activity can be performed by any user who has the I-9 Specialist role. Typically this role is assigned to the users that verify the documents that the New Hire presents.
This activity can be completed only after the New hire has submitted their onboarding information to Human Resources and the Human Resources Admin has verified the information that the New Hire submitted is complete and correct. Following completion, information can be changed until Initiate E-Verify has been done by the E-Verify Specialist.
The Complete I-9 activity can be accessed using My Tasks.
Click the Menu icon and then click My Tasks under Consoles.

When New Hires submit the documents to prove their eligibility for employment, I-9 specialists review these documents and record the data in Section 2 Form. Instead of completing Section 2 themselves, they can assign this task to a special remote user.
Click Assign Remote I-9 at the bottom of the Complete I-9 page.
For more information on Remote I-9 flow, you can visit Remote User page.
With the help of restart action, the process can be rolled back to previous I-9 Section 1 state for the candidates to edit the Section 1 data. The I-9 Admins can initiate this process by clicking the Restart Section 1 button given at the bottom of I-9 Section 2 form.
