If you have not yet faced this situation, get ready: You hire an employee who completes an I-9 form and demonstrates to your satisfaction that he or she is eligible to work in the United States.
Then, after the employee is hired, you receive notification from the Social Security Administration that the Social Security number reported by you on behalf of the employee does not match the name contained in the administration's records.
You are concerned that your employee is an illegal alien. You do not want a run-in with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. On the other hand, you don't want to fire a legal employee and risk a lawsuit for national origin discrimination.
