Q: Hello, I started a new job and the employer requested that bring my social security and state ID for I-9
I only had a passport and no social card but they insisted they needed to have my physical card or get a receipt of request. I got the receipt from the ss office and the employer ask did I have a copy of my social card and I gave that to them and then they were requesting my passport. The company handbook say they need a ss card for verication but to my understanding I was aware that it’s under federal for a company to tell you what option you ha e for an I-9 consider they accepted the other new hire passport without anything else but a state id. I need to know if I have been discriminated and if an employer handbook surpasses the Federal Law
A: Acceptable forms of ID should be on the I9 instructions themselves. Read it.
