Judicial Watch v. Social Security Administration (D.C.Cir. Dec. 11, 2012)
KAVANAUGH Garland Williams

Summary:  Judicial Watch filed a FOIA seeking “the 100 U.S. employers that generated the most no-matches from 2001 through 2006.” Disclosure was denied under exemption three, because release was barred by tax statutes.  The employer’s identity, like the employees’ identity, is “return information” and thus exempt from disclosure.
