Report ID: SPE000000060233, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reported Entity: VISN 19 Salt Lake City, UT
Issue:
A non-Veteran received a letter containing a Veteran's full name, full social security number, address, and billing number. The non-Veterans wife returned the letter to the Health Resource Center and the letter has been properly destroyed. It is unclear who sent this letter to the wrong address. The information contained in the letter is the correct information for the Veteran. Update: 03/30/11:Veteran A will be sent a letter offering credit protection services.
Outcome:
Unable to find out what Federal Agency sent this letter to the wrong address - it was not sent from the VA Salt Lake City, because the non-Veteran who received the letter is not in our network. Please close this ticket.
