A computer error at the state's new Cover Tennessee health insurance 
program caused some applicants' Social Security numbers to become visible 
to others, officials said Friday.

About 279 applicants from mid-February to early March may have been 
affected, she said.

Spokeswoman Emily Richard said if employers applying to the CoverTN 
program for small businesses chose not to print out their forms from the 
Web site, their information could have been added to the next user's 
printout request.
