On Wednesday, December 4, 2019, several hospitals and the American Hospital Association filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., to overturn a rule issued in November by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) that would require hospitals to disclose the private discounted prices they give to insurers for many procedures.

On 11/30/19, due to a setting error, Experian posted credit inquiries as ‘hard inquiries’ on behalf of PCG. 

A ‘hard inquiry’ is a credit inquiry which is visible to creditors and impacts a credit score. 

All inquiries have been corrected and changed to a ‘soft inquiry’. 

A ‘soft inquiry’ is only visible to the consumer, not creditors, and has no effect on a credit score. 

This correction was completed by 12/3/19. 

Affected consumers can contact Experian at publicsectorclientmanagement@experian.com  to confirm the inquiry has been corrected. 

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 30 percent of the 15.3 million Americans of working age (between ages 16 and 64) with disabilities participated in the workforce in 2018, compared with 74 percent of Americans without a disability. An Accenture analysis of the research suggests that shifting recruitment efforts to focus on disability inclusion would therefore provide companies with access to a new talent pool of more than 10.7 million people.
