The Social Security Administration is reviving a practice from a decade ago of sending letters out to employers when Social Security numbers don't match their records.
The Social Security Administration may be the latest front in the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration.
The agency is reviving the controversial practice of sending "no match" letters to businesses across the country, notifying them when an employee's Social Security number doesn't match up with official records.
That may sound innocuous. But these no-match letters are expected to set off alarm bells. That's what happened when they arrived in the mail back in the mid-2000s.
