The company says it mailed notice letters on June 30, 2026 and arranged identity monitoring services for affected individuals.
What Information Was Exposed?
Based on the public notice, the information may have varied from person to person. For employees, the files may have included a name together with one or more of the following: Social Security number, date of birth, taxpayer identification number, driver’s license or other government-issued identification number, financial account information for direct deposit, payment card information for corporate cards, and, for some people enrolled in benefits, enrollment information and limited claims information.
For dependents, the notice indicates the files may have included a name together with Social Security number, date of birth, and, if the dependent was enrolled in a benefits plan, enrollment information and limited claims information. Because the company says the records were not identical for every person, anyone who received a letter should read it closely to understand what categories of information may have been involved in their case.
