Identity Theft Protection
Protect What’s Yours
Your identity is one of your most valuable assets — and unfortunately, it’s also one of the most targeted.
Every year, millions of Americans fall victim to identity theft. In fact, reports show that identity fraud impacts roughly 1 in 20 adults annually, with cases ranging from stolen credit card information to full identity takeovers. Recovering from identity theft can take weeks or even months — and often means hours spent making calls, filing reports, and repairing your credit.
That’s where your Identity Theft Protection benefit comes in.
What This Benefit Does
This coverage helps you detect, protect, and recover if your identity is compromised:
- Monitors your credit and personal information across major bureaus
- Alerts you to suspicious activity, data breaches, or unauthorized accounts
- Restores your identity with the help of certified recovery specialists who work on your behalf to resolve issues
- Covers costs related to restoring your good name — including lost wages and certain out-of-pocket expenses
Why It Matters
Identity theft can happen to anyone — through phishing emails, online shopping, public Wi-Fi, or even a stolen wallet. Having professional protection means you’re not facing it alone.
With identity theft protection, you get peace of mind knowing someone’s always watching out for your information — and ready to help you recover fast if something goes wrong.
