I want to go now to a few issues around privacy details and what information will be shared between human services and financial institutions. I noticed the letter said of the card operation that in order to establish bank accounts for trial participants the Department of Human Services will need to transfer limited customer information to their financial institution. The financial institution will then need to provide new account details back to the Department of Social Services. First off, I would like to know what that limited information that will be transferred is.
