I-9
- She:
- Would you like me to mail a copy of my social security card?
- Me:
- No thanks, just list the number. You are really paranoid about this paperwork.
- She:
- Well you mentioned big fines.
- Me:
- I didn't intend to make it sound that serious. It works like this; we have to keep this I-9 paperwork on file for all employees in case some big government person asks for it. If, in the rare one in a bazillion chance that a government fool were to come snooping, we would have to prove that all our employees are eligible to work in the U.S. I have never heard of anyone ever being asked for this paper, but employers are threatened with fines and such to keep us in line. There would only be trouble if we were hiring illegal aliens. Personally, I am pretty confident that you are eligible to work in the United States.
- She:
- Only for about 40 years.
- Me:
- Right. So if the government hassles me about providing a job to a law abiding white American woman with a valid social security number, I will be sure to get in touch and get a copy of that document right away.
