Report ID: PSETS0000103524, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reported Entity: POPLAR BLUFF MO - 657A4
Issue:
An armband of a Veteran with full SSN and date of birth was found in the parking lot. This armband would have been from an urgent care visit and the last time the Veteran had an urgent care visit was on 03/30/14. So there is really no way to tell how long this armband has been out and about. The armband contained the Veteran's name, date of birth and full SSN
Outcome:
05/01/14: The Incident Resolution Team determined that the Veteran will receive a letter offering credit protection services.
