$2,507
Per-form ICE penalty for expired work authorizations
When an employee’s work authorization expires and the I-9 is not reverified, every day of continued employment is a separate violation.
I-9 & E-Verify
One expired I-9 can cost $2,507 per form in ICE penalties.
Kreto tracks every work authorization expiry date and E-Verify case in your organization \u2014 so you re-verify on time, every time.
The Problem
Where I-9 compliance breaks down
TNC risk
E-Verify cases left unresolved escalate to termination
E-Verify cases in interim status without follow-up escalate to Final Non-Confirmation — and potential termination obligations.
3 days
ICE gives 3 business days to produce I-9 forms during audit
Missing forms, incomplete sections, or expired documents found during inspection multiply penalties.

Example in Action
Real scenario: Mid-size employer with expiring authorizations
Employer
200 employees, multi-state
Issue Found
12 expired work authorizations
Early Detection
60 days before expiry
Kreto identified 12 employees with work authorizations expiring within the next 90 days. All 12 were flagged 60 days before expiry, giving HR time to collect updated documents, complete Section 3 re-verification, and avoid any gap in compliance — preventing potential ICE penalties of over $30,000.
