18,000 pay statements sent to wrong addresses

Posted on January 14, 2010 by Dissent

William H. McMichael reports:

Pay statements containing names and sensitive information about the finances of about 18,000 recipients of a special pay for disabled retirees were sent to wrong addressees last week, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service said Jan. 14.

The statements, a page of which contained information about annual increases in Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay, mistakenly listed data including at least a portion of another recipient’s name, their bank or insurance company name, the amount of their allotment and the allotment type, DFAS spokesman Steve Burghardt said.

DFAS said there is “no indication” that any Social Security numbers, bank account numbers or phone numbers were listed on the erroneously mailed pages, which resulted from a production malfunction at the Defense Department’s Document Automation and Production Service, which printed the statements on behalf of DFAS.
