New Glitch Discovered in ICERT System
September 24th, 2009 by Brian D. Zuccaro
The Department of Labor (DOL) has confirmed a new glitch with the iCERT system that can lead to LCA denials. Specifically, when registering a company or when adding a company to your account list, if the company’s FEIN begins with zero (“0”), the system drops some digits and inserts errant digits. The erroneous FEIN then populates new LCAs. If the user doesn’t notice the incorrect FEIN, and submits an LCA, that LCA can be denied for FEIN no-match. DOL is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. See AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 09092464
