Eric Bradner of the Evansville & Courier Press reports that Indiana’s unemployment agency, the Department of Workforce Development, accidentally sent the social security numbers of 4,500 out-of-work Hoosiers to the wrong companies due to a printing error by Pitney Bowes Management Services.
It was less than one week ago that the New Jersey Department of Workforce Development reported that they, too, had sent out unemployed workers’ names and SSN to the wrong employers, but in that case, it was 28,000 workers and the error was a manual error in stuffing envelopes.
