September 2007
On August 15, 2007, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) published its “Safe-Harbor Procedures for Employers Who Receive a No-Match Letter” setting forth specific procedures employers must follow upon receipt of a letter from either the Social Security Administration (SSA) or Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which calls into question an employee’s immigration status. As drafted, the new regulations were slated to take effect on September 14, 2007.
