(CNSNews.com) – The independent administrator of the $20 billion escrow fund established by BP to compenate those harmed by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will check the legitimacy of the Social Security or tax identification numbers of people applying for compensation from the fund to make sure none of the money is awarded to people not legally authorized to work or do business in the United States, a spokesperson told CNSNews.com.

President Barack Obama chose Kenneth Feinberg, a Washington, D.C. lawyer, to design and administer the fund. Feinberg was also chosen last year by Obama to decide the salary caps for top executives of U.S. companies that received federal bail out funds.

“Will Mr. Feinberg or others who are handling claims specifically check for the validity of claimants’ Social Security or tax identification number through the E-Verify program or by other means?â€

only for this huh? why not for everything else

Yeah I like his comment "it is the law of the land"
