Report ID: SPE000000064320, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reported Entity: VISN 09 Huntington, WV
Issue:
Documents for (former) Employee A were scanned into the electronic personnel folder of Employee B. Employee B discovered the documents and reported them. They have been removed but it is unknown how long they may have been in the folder. Update: 06/30/11:Employee A will be sent a letter offering credit protection services.
Outcome:
This did not happen at our facility; the scanning was done away from here. Nothing we can do locally to mitigate.
