Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

I suspect that my employer has prvided personal information about me to a third party inclusive of Social Security Number, without my consent. They recently hired a consulting firm to handle our health insurance benefits - I think my information was provided to them, but I do not have health insurance through this company. Is this legal? If not, what recourse do I have?

It is an open question right nw but you may have a cause of action for dissemination of your private health information without your consent under the FMLA.

This answer to your legal inquiry is based upon the limited facts stated in your question. Accurate legal advice is based upon an exchange between a lawyer and a client. The lawyer can then ask about other facts that may change or confirm the answer. Without that exchange, this reply should be considered limited in value. You should rely on this answer only at your own risk. Direct consultation with a lawyer is always recommended. Answering your question does not create an attorney-client relationship.
