Data breach at Cumberland County Hospital in Kentucky could impact patients, employees
Cumberland County Hospital, based in Burkesville, Kentucky, issued a national alert June 2 about a data security incident that may have exposed personal information of patients and current and past employees.
"There was unauthorized access to our files on our computer system that contain personally identifiable information, including health information," the hospital said in a news release.
Information that may have been hacked includes: name, date of birth, address, phone number, email address, race or ethnicity, Social Security number, medications, diagnoses, treatment notes, dates of service and other information.
For employees, past or present, the breach could be deeper and also include tax forms, bank information and other personal information.
"The electronic medical records system the hospital and its partners use to record and bill for patient care was not involved, the hospital alert says.
Anyone treated at or employed by the hospital is encouraged to follow recommendations by the Federal Trade Commission regarding identity theft protection and details on how to place a fraud alert or security freeze on a credit file. Go to the "Advice and Guidance" section of the www.ftc.gov website.
Tennessee residents can contact the Tennessee Identity Crimes Unit at 1150 Foster Ave., Cooper Hall, Nashville, through the email Safety.IdentityCrime@tn.gov or visit the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security webpage for "Identity Theft Resources."

Social Security June 2025: Here's When the Next Round of Payments Will Be Sent Out
The first round of Social Security payments were sent out earlier this week, to people who've been receiving benefits since before May 1997 and those who also receive Supplemental Security Income. For everyone else, when you get paid depends on when you were born. We'll explain. Social Security benefit payments are sent monthly to people who've applied for their retirement, survivors or disability benefits. The payments are sent in waves throughout the month. When you receive your Social Security check is determined by how long you've been receiving benefits, whether you receive additional government benefits, or the day of the month you were born. Not sure when you should be receiving your payment? We break it down, below. Read on to find out how your payment date is determined, when you should receive your check, and the full payment schedule for the month of June. For more, don't miss CNET's Social Security and SSDI cheat sheet. Want to know which day of the month you'll receive your check? This is the Social Security and SSDI payment schedule for June. Social Security payments are typically paid out starting on the second Wednesday of the month. The remaining two payments will be paid out on the following two Wednesdays of the month. Which week you receive your payment depends on your birthdate. There is one big exception, which we'll cover below. If you've received Social Security benefits since before May 1997, or receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income, your payment schedule isn't determined by your birthdate. Instead, payments are paid out every month on the same date with a couple of exceptions. Social Security payments will be sent out on the 3rd of each month, while SSI payments are sent out on the 1st of each month. These dates will sometimes change if the 1st or the 3rd of the month falls on a weekend or holiday. For example, March 3 of last year fell on a weekend, so Social Security recipients received their March payments two days early, on March 1. The only benefits that are paid on the same schedule are Social Security and Social Security Disability Insurance. An executive order from the White House will end the use of paper Social Security checks on Sept. 30. This means all payments after that date will be sent digitally, including direct deposits, debit and credit cards, digital wallets and other real-time payment systems to reduce the overall cost of sending physical checks to beneficiaries. The decision is not surprising when you consider that only 485,766 Social Security checks are mailed each month, which pales in comparison to the 68,104,184 direct deposit payments made each month. While this will undoubtedly be an adjustment period for those people who have been receiving physical checks, moving mailed benefits payments to digital forms will increase security. It's important to note that some exclusions will be made for certain individuals. If your check fails to arrive when it's supposed to or not at all, the Social Security Administration suggests waiting three additional mailing days before contacting it. After that, you can call the national toll-free number: 1-800-772-1213. The SSA notes that "wait times to speak to a representative are typically shorter in the morning, later in the week and later in the month." If you're having trouble reaching the SSA through the national number, you can use its office locator to find a local office.
