CIRC Denounces SSA No-Match Letters

The Social Security Administration (SSA) sends "no-match" letters to workers and certain employers when the workers' names and Social Security numbers do not match. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a new rule that would use these letters as evidence that an employer has "constructive knowledge" that its workers are undocumented, unless the employer follows certain steps. But a federal judge has stopped the new DHS rule from going into effect, and SSA cannot send out the no-match letters with information about the rule. Many employers are concerned and confused about this rule, so it is important that workers know what their rights are.

High profile artists like Mr. de La Rocha have come out strongly against the criminalization of immigrant communities, and we hope that their words will have an effect on the politicians looking to use immigration as a wedge issue this election season
