Mismatched Social Security Cards in the News
Greenberg Traurig’s Laura Foote Reiff and
Dawn Lurie were quoted today
in The Washington Post discussing the ramifications on employers and employees
of the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) crackdown on mismatched Social
Security numbers. The SSA has sent out “No Match” letters to over 800,000
employers which cover approximately 7 million employees since the beginning
of this year. These letters notify employers that Social Security numbers
they provided to the SSA for specific individuals do not match the name
in the SSA’s data base. While it can happen for any number of reasons, including
innocuous name changes, misspellings, etc., the letters reflect an increased
enforcement effort on those who work using an invalid or incorrect social
security number, in particular those without work authorization in the US.
For more information on this topic, we will highlight an in-depth article
on the SSA’s recent crackdown on mismatch Social Security Numbers in the
August edition of the GT Business Immigration Observer.
