Judge halts no-match letter rules
September 04, 2007 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo

A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the Department of Homeland Security barring DHS

"from giving any effect to or otherwise taking any action to implement the Final Rule adopted by the Department of Homeland Security entitled “Safe-Harbor Procedures for Employers Who Receive a No-Match Letter” that was published at 77 Fed. Reg. 45611 (Aug. 15, 2007), including by mailing or otherwise causing to be sent to employers the Social Security Administration no-match letter packets that include the Department of Homeland Security guidance letter concerning the Final Rule."

The TRO was issued pending a hearing on the AFL-CIO's move to obtain a preliminary injunction. That hearing will be on October 1.
