Two more employees from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission were fired for improperly accessing the personal information of Texans in public assistance programs, raising concerns over privacy breaches. This brings the total number of terminated employees to nine in the past year, following incidents involving illegal alterations to food stamp cards. With over 8,000 HHSC employees having access to sensitive information, Commissioner Cecile Young highlighted the unusual nature of internal employee breaches. The discussion on employee access occurred during a Senate Committee hearing alongside budget considerations for the agency.
The privacy breach, as you know, was something that was a new novel pattern that our own employees were doing.
Sadly, it was actually coming from our employees.
