This is an FYI only:

I received one of the letters they sent out these past two weeks. I figured I was safe because I was discharged well before 1975. However, if you applied for any kind of VA benefit in or after 1975 - medical, education, house, etc....your info may be on that disc.

Department of Veterans Affairs to pay for a year of credit monitoring veterans who may be affected by data theft-The VA announced that it will provide a year credit monitoring for those who may have being among the 26.4 million records stolen last month. The VA will be soliciting bids next week for the contract. They expect to have the contract in place and an explanatory letter sent to all the effected people by mid August. If you want more information you can call either log onto www.firstgov.gov or call 1-800-333-4636 (1-800-FED INFO)
