DHS New "No-Match" Rules: How to Avoid Severe Penalties and Comply with the Law

Course Description:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced tough new rules on August 10th that require employers to fire workers who use false or inaccurate social security numbers.  Officials stated the new rules would be backed up by increased raids on workplaces across the country.

This major crackdown has the Social Security Administration issuing about 140,000 "no-match" letters to employers this year, covering more than 8 million workers whose names and numbers do not match agency records.  If you can't verify the numbers' authenticity within 90 days, you’ve got to fire the worker — or pay a $10,000 penalty for each "no-match" or undocumented worker.

These new rules don’t just affect immigrant workers.  In fact, more than 13 million Americans have discrepancies in their Social Security status.  And whether it’s a clerical error or a name change they’re guaranteed to be caught up in the crackdown!
