Fresno County still hasn't found a missing computer disk that contains the 
personal information for thousands of home health-care workers.

The disk, with data used to determine workers' eligibility for health-care 
benefits, was lost more than a month ago after it was sent via a courier 
to a software vendor's office in San Jose.

"There is still nothing to point out what happened to it or where it is," 
County Administrative Officer Bart Bohn said. "It hasn't been found, it 
hasn't been detected and it hasn't surfaced, but we continue to try and 
find out where it is."

County officials have determined, however, that the disk only contained 
information pertaining to the home health-care workers -- including their 
names, addresses and Social Security numbers. Officials previously said 
the disk also had information pertaining to the 10,000 elderly, blind and 
disabled clients served through the county's In-Home Supportive Services 
program.
