DHS issued a supplemental proposed rule that purports to clarify its Aug 2007 final rule regarding an employer's leal obligations upon receiving a letter form the Social Security Administration (SSA) stating that the information submitted for an employee does not match SSA records (otherwise known as an SSA no-match letter.)
2/19/2008- The judge ruled that the name check requirement was out of order because
USCIS had never issued regulations, and is ordering the agency to issue
regulations with an eye toward the Ombudsman's report on the issue. Please
see the key passages from the decision below:
2/19/2008- In a meeting with Secretary Chertoff in November, members of the ICE and OCRCL Working Groups asked DHS to issue a version of our complaint reporting process description on DHS letterhead. Secretary Chertoff agreed to consider this and ultimately agreed. The DHS version is below. Also, please note that a new staff person is listed as the contact for ICE DRO. We will ask DHS to update this form regularly in conjunction with the quarterly ICE and OCRCL meetings
