U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer has blocked a proposed rule requiring employers to fire workers whose names don't match their Social Security numbers. The judge's temporary injunction blocks the government's plan until the suit is resolved or an appeals court overturns Judge Breyer's decision. The government had originally planned to start mailing out so-called "no-match" letters in September, which would have given employers three months to correct any mistakes or fire the employees.
