CA Health Care Department Accidentally Prints Social Security Numbers on Envelopes

Sacramento Bee: The Department of Health Care Services said Monday it has breached the privacy of 49,352 people who receive adult day-care services from the state.



The department said that letters it mailed a week ago to 49,352 Medi-Cal beneficiaries wrongly included each patient’s Social Security number on their address labels.



The department said the security incident took place Feb. 1, but it was only told about it on Thursday. It started to notify the 49,352 beneficiaries about the problem over the weekend.
