What documentation presented to the credentialing office can verify the applicant's right to work in the United States?

• A. Passport
• B. I-9 Form
• C. Social Security Card
• D. Birth Certificate

Answer: (B)

Verifying someone’s right to work in the United States is handled through the I-9 process. The I-9 Form is the official record employers use to confirm both the applicant’s identity and their eligibility to work. When an applicant presents documents (such as a passport, a Social Security card, or a birth certificate), the employer uses them to complete the I-9 and to indicate that the person is authorized to work. The form itself captures what was presented and whether it qualifies under the government’s rules. While individual documents prove parts of identity or citizenship, the verification that ties everything together—identity plus work authorization—is done through the I-9. That makes the I-9 form the appropriate documentation to verify the right to work.
