Any request for a credit report should be flagged and the vet should be immediately notified. Request you representatives to tell the VA to do this, please.

So effectively, everybody (not just veterans) can check their credit report for free every 4 months for ever and ever by rotating through the freebies. It's a good habit to get into in this day and age, apparently, vet or not. Everybody can get one free copy of their credit report from each of the 3 credit reporting companies every year.

Since, last time I checked, Federal law prohibits using SSNs for any purpose unrelated to taxes (even by the Federal government), I'm not feeling a whole lot of sympathy. Alternatively, the federal government could try actually enforcing the law. Maybe on itself, just to start slowly. Suddenly there would be a whole lot fewer potential sources of this information.

This isn't the first itme, however, that sensitive information has been stolen from a civilian employee who has taken a laptop home to work on a project. Hey, jack holes, if you have social security numbers, addresses, birth dates, or anything else that could possibly be used to screw someone's life up- LEAVE IT AT WORK.
