WASHINGTON, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders from worker, civil rights and immigrant advocacy organizations will hold a news conference call tomorrow, Thursday, March 27 at 12:00 noon Eastern Time , to address the 2007 Social Security Administration (SSA) no-match rule reissued today by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its impact on workers and the economy. The no-match rule issued by the DHS was already struck down by a court because of serious concerns that its full impact on workers and employers hadn't been fully explored and the reissued no-match rule only includes minor cosmetic changes that do not begin to address the court's concerns.
