The government requires Reliant to verify that all new hires are eligible to work in the United States using a Form I-9 within 3 days after their start date. Typically, this is done with a Reliant employee meeting the new hire with their documents to physically inspect them and complete the form. Given the current National Emergency Declaration and widespread stay at home orders, the Department of Homeland Security has made a few allowances during this time. Reliant has responded with adjustments of our own in order to safely verify documents for missionaries who need to be hired but have not yet completed the form. Please select the statement below that most describes your situation for details on what options are available to have your eligibility verified.

If you are able to meet all the requirements for the first option, please set up a 15 minute video appointment with Kaitlin Yates using this link: https://calendly.com/kaitlin-yates. In the notes, please include the email for the trusted individual and Kaitlin will send you a separate DocuSign envelope for the I-9 and a link for the video call. During the appointment, you will need your documents and your trusted individual together. This will greatly help us not have a sudden influx of needed reverifications. For the second option, we will send you a separate DocuSign envelope with the I-9 and you will need to fill out the form and attach images of your verifying documents. |

At this time, the DHS has only extended these allowances through mid-June. Reliant will continue to monitor the situation and will reach out closer to your hire date with instructions. |

The policy amendments above are in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Department of Homeland Security's policy extensions seen on their website here: DHS announces flexibility in requirements related to Form I-9 compliance. These allowances will be reviewed by the DHS as the pandemic continues to impact the United States. Reliant will continue to monitor their allowances and update this page accordingly. |
