New Materials on Social Security No-Match: Newly-proposed rules by the Department of Homeland Security will alter the nature and use of Social Security No-match letters, and turn them into an immigrant enforcement tool. The rules won’t reduce employment by undocumented workers: they will just drive more workers underground, reward scoff-law employers, and overload the SSA’s data system. A federal judge has blocked enforcement of the rule. Read an analysis of the proposed rule and its impacts in NELP’s Question and Answer brief. NELP’s advice for workers, in English and in Spanish, is meant as an interim tool. Organizers and union representatives can refer employers during this time to NELP’s Top Ten Tips for Employers. The Washington State Coalition’s letter to the Region 10 Social Security Administrator can serve as a model for activists. .
