Who can fine you for non-compliance of the I-9 requirement?

The correct choice is that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the authority to fine employers for non-compliance with the I-9 employment eligibility verification requirement. The I-9 form is essential for verifying that employees are legally allowed to work in the United States. If an employer fails to complete and maintain proper I-9 forms for their employees, the DHS can impose penalties.

The Department of Labor is primarily concerned with wage and hour laws, workplace safety, and employee rights, not directly with immigration verification processes. The FBI handles criminal law enforcement and matters related to national security but is not responsible for I-9 compliance specifically. The State Tax Authority focuses on state tax collections and does not have jurisdiction over employment verification processes involving immigration status. Therefore, the responsibility for I-9 compliance and potential fines clearly falls under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security.
