The personal and protected health information involved was shared with BBA either by the individual, the individual's employer, and/or the individual's insurance carrier(s), in connection with enrollment in an employment insurance benefit plan for calendar year 2022.

To date, BBA is not aware of any evidence of the misuse of any personal and protected health information involved in this incident.  However, on December 29, 2022, BBA mailed notice of this incident to potentially impacted individuals for which BBA had identifiable address information. In this notification letter, BBA provided information about the incident and about steps that potentially affected individuals can take to protect their information.
