Sample Letter: Termination after Updated Social Security Number

You may wish to use the sample letter on the next page if you are a worker in California and

you were fired after you gave your employer a new Social Security Number. For example, you

may have provided your employer with a number when you began working and, afterwards,

when you obtained a new number, your employer fired you because you tried to update your

information with the new number.

IMMIGRANT WORKERS

It is illegal for employers to retaliate against any worker because she asserts her workplace

rights—for example, by contacting federal immigration authorities. Unfortunately, this type of

retaliation does happen, and it can have serious consequences for immigrant workers. If you

lack legal status or work authorization in the United States, you should consult with an

immigration attorney about the risks employer retaliation could entail for you.
