Identity Monitoring

Identity monitoring monitors the activity associated with an identity across multiple data sources, including:

  • Credit Bureau Data
  • DMVs
  • Bankruptcy Lien and Judgment filings
  • Utilities
  • Public Records
  • Private Contributory Databases

By continuously monitoring information related to a specific identity, the owner of that identity can be immediately notified if it has been compromised. As identity fraud usually precedes other types of fraud (such as credit card fraud), this type of proactive alert system is critical to mitigating the extensive – and expensive – damage perpetrated after an identity is stolen and manipulated. Given the considerable lag between when an identity is compromised and when that even is discovered, this service is a critical component of defense against identity fraud.

Identity Theft Insurance

Each member will also receive up to $25,000 worth of insurance coverage*. Identity theft insurance is underwritten by a nationally recognized Insurance Carrier with an “A” or better AM Best Rating. This coverage will help members offset some of the cost of restoring their identity to its original status, including:

  • Lost wages: $500.00 per week, for 4 weeks maximum
  • Re-filing of loans
  • Defense cost for certain civil and criminal lawsuits: Reasonab
