About Bridgeway Benefit Technologies LLC
Bridgeway Benefit Technologies LLC is a benefits administration software company headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, formed from the merger of BASYS LLC and Innovative Software Solutions Inc. (ISSI). The company develops billing, eligibility, claims, and pension software for trust fund offices, multiemployer plans, and third-party administrators in the Taft-Hartley market, serving more than 1,500 multiemployer benefit funds and managing benefits for over two million union workers across the United States and Canada.

Because Social Security numbers were among the exposed data types, consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—to make it harder for anyone to open new accounts in your name. Review your existing financial account statements regularly for any unfamiliar activity, and obtain your free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com to check for accounts or inquiries you do not recognize.
