The Mississippi View then Disclosure Notice is a document issued by the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDS) that outlines the requirements for the secure disclosure of social security numbers (SSNs). It is intended to provide guidance to MDS staff, contractors, and vendors on the appropriate use and disclosure of SSNs. The Notice includes information on the use and disclosure of SSNs, including the purpose for which they can be used, how they should be stored and transmitted securely, when they can be disclosed and to whom, and what to do in the event of a breach. The Notice also outlines the penalties for improper disclosure of SSNs. There are two types of Mississippi View then Disclosure Notice: the original Notice, which is issued by the MDS, and the annual renewal Notice, which must be completed by contractors and vendors on an annual basis.
