U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a final regulation on
August 10, 2007, describing the requirements for employers when they
receive "no-match letters" from the Social Security
Administration or receive a letter regarding employment verification
from the Department of Homeland Security. Its effective date was 30 days
from the issuance of the final regulation. This rule finalizes a June 14,
2006, proposed rule, where the DHS received approximately 5,000 comments
from a wide variety of interested parties, including employers, unions,
lawyers and advocacy groups.
