Identity Theft News

Department of Veterans Affairs Data Security Incidents

NEW: How did this happen?

VA learned on August 3rd that a computer was missing from Unisys, a subcontractor that provides software support to the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia VA Medical Centers. The computer contained insurance claim data for some patients treated in these two facilities or their community clinics. It is important to note that we have no reason to believe the computer was stolen for the purpose of gaining veteran information or that the information has been or will be used inappropriately.

NEW: Why did this company have this information on the computer?

The Unisys system is used by the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia VA Medical Centers to help sort and track insurance claims that have been billed to insurance companies.

NEW: What information was included?

We believe that for the veterans affected, the information included name, and some or all of the following: date of birth, Social Security Number, address, insurance carrier and other insurance claim related information.

NEW: How do I know if my information was on the computer?

Unisys provided VA with a list of patients whose information may have been on this computer. Letters were sent to these individuals. The list includes approximately 16,000 living individuals and approximately 2,000 now deceased, who received care either at Pittsburgh VA medical center over the last four years or the Philadelphia VA medical center since 2005, and who had third party insurance that was billed for that care.
