DHS Finalizes Employer Safe Harbor Provisions for No-Match Rule
Monday, 11/17/2008
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a supplemental rule last week on its “no-match” rule which determines when an employer is liable for knowingly employing an illegal alien. The rule provides a safe harbor against liability for employers who take certain steps upon receiving a “no-match” letter from Social Security Administration's (SSA) or Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
As reported earlier this year, the U.S. DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a final rulemaking on January 28, 2008, that requires new shipping paper entries for gasoline blends containing ethanol concentrations greater than ten percent. PHMSA is also limiting the shipping paper entry “gasohol” to gasoline with no more than ten percent ethanol content.
