SLIGHTLY Different spin with some additional information...

A corrupted file on a state computer caused incorrect addresses to be 
put on cards and letters mailed to some 3,900 TennCare enrollees, 
sending names, birth dates and Social Security numbers to the wrong 
people, state officials said Friday.

Those whose personal information was released will be notified by mail 
next week. The type of information disclosed will be included in the notice.

TennCare will pay a maximum $120,000 for identity theft protection under 
its contract with Kroll Fraud Solution, said TennCare spokeswoman Carol 
Fite.

"We moved quickly to implement these safeguards," she said.

The state agency has already re-mailed the letters and cards to the 
correct address
