No-Match Letters: the Adminstration Will Try Again
On November 23, 2007, the Bush administration announced that it will suspend its legal defense of the Social Security no-match letter regulation it sought to impose earlier this fall.
The Administration is going to redraft the regulation to try to meet the legal problems that led United States District Court Judge Charles Breyer to enjoin it from enforcing the reg back in September. I discussed Judge Breyer's ruling in a prior posting here.
It is clear that the Adminstration is not giving up and will simply try again to impose immigration law enforcement duties on private employers.
The Administration will probably wait until the Spring of 2008 to announce changes in the proposed reg which is hopes will then pass judicial muster.
