http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20070405/TL01/70405018/-1/NEWS03 The social security numbers and other personal identification data of 6,000 DCH Health System employees are missing raising concerns about the possibility of identity theft. An encrypted disc and hardcopy documents containing the personal identification information were lost by a consultant company -- Mercer Human Resources Consulting -- that reviews the DCH pension plan to determine the annual employer contribution requirements. Neither Mercer nor DCH were aware of any of the information being accessed or illegally misused. Mercer notified DCH on March 22 that a package of documents containing retirement benefit information had disappeared. The pension documents had been mailed from Mercer offices in Birmingham March 2, but disappeared after reaching its intended destination in Louisiana.
