Judicial Watch Lawsuit Seeks Social Security Data Linked to Illegal Alien Fraud

Open Records Lawsuit Seeks a List of Top 100 Employers with the “highest number of Social Security number mismatches”


(Washington, DC) -- Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the Social Security Administration (Judicial Watch v. Social Security Administration, Case No. 1:06CV02034). Judicial Watch is seeking documents identifying the top 100 corporations in the United States receiving the highest number of “no match” letters from the Social Security Administration.

In its November 29 complaint, Judicial Watch asks the court to compel the Social Security Administration to comply with Judicial Watch’s June 29, 2006 FOIA request seeking: “All records detailing the top 100 U.S. employers receiving the highest number of Social Security number mismatches, as described by the Social Security Administration’s Code V letter program (EDCOR).” (Under the program, the Social Security Administration sends letters to employers identifying the Social Security numbers of employees who do not match names or numbers in the Social Security Administration’s records.)

Judicial Watch believes, based on media reports and its own field investigations, that a large number of illegal aliens are using false Social Security numbers in order to unlawfully work in the United States. (A “crackdown” against this practice occurred yesterday, as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids were conducted in six states.) Judicial Watch is seeking statistical data related to the companies with the highest number of Social Security number mismatches, not information pertaining to individual Social Security numbers.

“Identity-theft (the use of fake or stolen Social Security numbers) by illegal immigrants is an expensive fraud on our Social Security system. The more information released about this ongoing problem, the better,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Judicial Watch is a non-partisan, educational foundation organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code.

I would also like to see a Freedom of Information lawsuit that would require the federal government to disclose the number of federal employees who were fired and their jobs sent overseas or offshored.

That would be a real eye opener!
