Return to LEIE Home
We recently discovered that from July 15, 2010 through August 4, 2010, the search/verification function of the on-line searchable LEIE database was not working properly. During that period, when a user entered an SSN or EIN to verify whether an individual or entity was excluded, the reply in every case was “No match.” As a result of this computer glitch, it is possible that users may have received false negative results for individuals and entities who actually are excluded. Therefore, we highly recommend that users re-screen all individuals and entities whose SSNs or EINs were verified during the July 15-August 4th timeframe.
