Official Advance Copy of ICE Supplemental Final “No-Match / Safe Harbor” Rule

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is finalizing the Supplemental Proposed Rule published on March 26, 2008 and reaffirming regulations providing a “safe harbor” from liability under section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act for employers that follow certain procedures after receiving a notice—either a “no-match letter” from the Social Security Administration (SSA), or a “notice of suspect document” from DHS—that casts doubt on the employment eligibility  of their employees. DHS is also correcting a typographical error in the rule text promulgated in August 200 7.  FR Doc. 2008-25544 Filed 10/27/2008 at 8:45 am; Publication Date: 10/28/2008.
