Spanish language forms case tossed by federal judge
U S District Judge Edward Neaher ruled the decision to print Social Security forms in Spanish rests with the people and courts, not the federal judiciary. He dismissed a class action by Legal Aid Society claiming lack of Spanish forms denied Hispanic access to benefits, noting language does not constitute a protected constitutional characteristic. The ruling anchors English as the nation’s official language for government procedures.
