Social Security Numbers on Tax Documents Visible Through Envelope While in the Mail

Students of the University of Missouri have been receiving their 1098-T forms for their taxes, but unfortunately, most of the forms were mailed with the full or partial Social Security number visible through the window of the envelope.

The mail was handled only by the university themselves and the United States Post Office upon delivery to the recipients, and there have been no signs of misuse. The school, however, has supplied information for the students in regards to the credit monitoring services that students could utilize at a discount due to this situation.
