Controversial rules regarding new hire documentation have been pushed aside in favor of widening the use of E-Verify.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the so-called ‘no-match’ rules (which told employers what to do if the Social Security number provided by a new hire didn’t match the number in the feds’ database) in 2007. Controversy and legal battles have prevented the rule from ever going into effect.
Now, it’s officially off the books. A regulation was published in the Federal Register on October 7 rescinding the rule.
The DHS announced it will focus on promoting the use of E-Verify as the mechanism for preventing the employment of illegal immigrants.
