Court Halts Government From Implementing Flawed Social Security No-Match Rule (8/31/2007)

Wow! This surprises me. I thought checking the Social Security Numbers was for ensuring that those being paid were having money credited to the appropriate account. If this is not done and a wrong number is being used, who pays for the mistake?

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has advocated for this effort because it was believed it would be used against "illegal immigrants". We seem to have or take pleasure in taking the ability of our government agencies ability to do their job properly away.

If someone is using a false number, illegal or not, would it not be appropriate to get the situation corrected?

Here is the link to the news release regarding this subject.
