The Challenge Question:

When an employee comes forward with a new Social Security number and indicates that he was previously not authorized to work but has since obtained valid work authorization, what should an employer do?

a. Terminate employment (or take other adverse action) based on prior dishonesty;

b. Terminate employment based on the lack of work authorization;

c. Complete a new I-9, allow the employee to continue to work, and, if the employer uses E-Verify, run an E-Verify query; or

d. Complete a new I-9 and allow the employee to continue to work, but not run an E-Verify query (because you cannot run an E-Verify query for an existing employee).
