Since August 5, 2026, Massachusetts employers that receive an ICE Notice of Inspection for I-9s or other employment records must give each employee individual written notice within 48 hours, unless federal law says otherwise.
The clock starts when the notice arrives, whether by mail, email, fax, or another route. The state has published guidance and a sample notice, and recommends giving it in each employee’s primary language. Translated versions are coming.
