Judge delays Social Security No-Match Rule
by Richard Stup
A federal judge in California temporarily blocked the Department of Homeland Security from implementing the new social security no-match rule. The rule was supposed to go into effect on September 14th but is now delayed until at least October 1st. The judge, in issuing her injunction, stated that the federal agencies needed to show clear evidence that a no-match letter should lead an employer to reasonably infer that an employee is here illegally.
