The Political content policy was updated so Google no longer accepts W9 forms to verify an organization's EIN for US Election Ads; IRS-issued letters, 8871/990 filings, incorporation certificates, SEC filings, bank statements and business credit reports are accepted instead.

Listed in Google's 2022 policy change log but posted December 2, 2021; dated here by its effective date.
