Immigration Compliance —Fiorenza

An employer “no-match letter” (also known as an “Employer Correction Request”) is a written notice from the SSA that the name and social security account number submitted to the SSA for an employee does not match the SSA’s records.

The DHS letter is a notice that the immigration status or employment-authorization documentation presented by the employee in completing Form I-9 was not assigned to the employee, according to DHS records. Since Form I-9 is retained by the employer—as opposed to being filed with DHS, and is only made available to DHS investigators upon request—an employer will likely only receive this type of notification following an audit of its I-9 records.
