INS Crackdown
Under new final regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), an employer may be deemed to have constructive knowledge that it’s employing an illegal alien if the employer receives a “no-match” letter from the Social Security Administration (which says, “The SSN submitted for this employee does not match any of our records”).
If you receive a no-match letter from the SSA, you need to follow the guidelines provided by the Immigration Control and Enforcement branch of the DHS for obtaining safe-harbor protection against prosecution.
