Report ID: PSETS0000100430, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reported Entity: SIOUX FALLS SD - 438 VBA
Issue:
Veteran A was mailed a copy of Veteran B c-file in error. Veteran A requested credit monitoring also due to lack of trust in the process. Veteran B's name, address, full SSSN and date of birth were compromised.
Outcome:
02/12/14: The Incident Resolution Team (IRT) determined that Veteran B will receive a letter offering credit protection services, due to the data elements exposed. The IRT does not have the authority to provide credit protection services to Veteran A since we have no evidence to suggest that his records were inappropriately disclosed.
