| Congresscritters Agitate to Rehire Security Risks/Those Fired for Bad Credit |
| 2010-03-25 |
| A 2005 executive order mandates that credit scores be part of a worker's security profile. Because someone deep in debt might be tempted to sell secrets.. Congressmen Dennis Kucinich and Steve LaTourette and Congresswomen Marcia Fudge and Betty Sutton asked that terminations at the Defense Financing and Accounting Service (DFAS) be halted while policies are reviewed. DFAS handles the payroll for all active and retired military personnel. Some question whether a payroll office without real military secrets needs this level of security. They only have millions of Social Security numbers directly linked to bank accounts for direct deposit of paychecks. Why would anyone short of cash want those? |

| #3 They don't have costituents near Cleveland? My apologies - i t should have said "All four members of Congress in the article are from Ohio". And it's more than just possible misappropriation of cash wrt SSNs. |
