Name Change Correction allows users to correct name change details of an I-9 ID. This option is available in I-9 Console actions only when Section 3 Correction is enabled in org level I-9 setup page and a row exists in I-9 Master for the chosen I-9 ID for name change.

 For enabling Section 3 Correction in org level I-9 setup, please refer Section 3 Corrections page.

What is the difference between initiating name change and name change correction?

Once 'Initiate Name Change' process is complete, both 'Name Change Correction' and 'Initiate Name Change' options display in I-9 Console under actions (provided Section 3 correction is enabled in Org level I-9 setup). Both the options allow changing name details, but the only difference is how the row is added in I-9 Master. Correction is for changing existing name change details whereas 'Initiate Name Change' adds a new Section 3 sequenced row. Correction increments the rows with effective date/sequence of the appropriate S3 Reason (latest) Section 3 sequence number while 'Initiate Name Change' adds a new S3 Reason sequence numbered row.
