Report Link Deadline To Protect Confidentiality Of SSN Numbers Is Fast Approaching (pdf).Ogletree Deakins - December 06, 2005 This is a reminder that companies with operations or substantial business in the
State of Michigan must implement a policy to protect the confidentiality of Social Security
numbers (SSN) by January 1, 2006. Report Link Michigan Establishes Minimum Privacy Protections For Social Security Numbers.Jackson Lewis LLP - November 01, 2005 In 2005, Michigan joined a growing number of states (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida and Georgia, among others) that have enacted specific legislation protecting individual Social Security numbers. The Social Security Number Privacy Act prohibits the intentional disclosure of more than four sequential digits of an employee's SSN. The Act makes it a misdemeanor – punishable by up to 93 days in prison and a fine of $1000 – to knowingly violate any provision. Aggrieved employees may also bring a civil suit to recover their actual damages or $1,000 (whichever is greater) plus attorneys' fees. Many of the Act's provisions became effective immediately upon passage on March 1, 2005. Other provisions will become effective on January 1, 2006 Report Link Michigan Becomes the First State in the Nation to Open the Door to Potential Employer Liability for Workplace Identify Theft.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - April 13, 2005 In early 2005, Michigan became the first state in the nation to enact legislation requiring that every employer maintain a policy for safeguarding employee social security numbers. During the same time frame, the Michigan Court of Appeals became the first appellate court to allow the victims of identity theft to recover damages (totaling $275,000) from an organization that failed to adequately safeguard personal information that was subsequently used for identity theft. These national precedents expose Michigan employers to liability for failing to safeguard employee personal information, and open the door to employer liability for workplace identity theft in other jurisdictions that likely will follow Michigan’s example.
