Correct!

Answer: A

This field was added to the Form I-9 that was released in March 2013 and that employers were required to begin using on or before May 7, 2013. While the e-mail address may be used by the Department of Homeland Security to provide updates to employees about Tentative Nonconfirmations, it is not clear what the purpose of the telephone number field is. It is possible, though not yet evident, that the government might use the number to contact employees in the event of an I-9 or related investigation to determine whether the employer has been following the law.

The Challenge Question:

Why is there a telephone number field on the I-9?
I’m looking at the new Form I-9 that we started using in May (2013), and it has a place for my employees to list their telephone numbers. Why is this field on the I-9?

A. To allow the government to contact the employee if necessary.
B. Because of all the monkeys.
C. For telemarketing purposes.
D. For the census.
