Yesterday, in response to the lawsuit noted in Friday’s Employment Law Alert, a federal judge temporarily delayed implementation of the Department of Homeland Security’s new “no-match” rule. The judge also ordered the Social Security Administration not to mail 100,000+ no-match letters that were scheduled to go out this week.

The lawsuit, filed by the AFL-CIO, ACLU and others, asserts that the rule could lead to discrimination against Hispanic workers and that errors in the SSA’s database could result in terminations of many US citizens and legal immigrant workers.
