Key Benefit Descriptions:

  • Fully Managed Identity Theft Recovery – Victims work one-on-one with a professional Recovery Advocate who is trained and qualified to create a personal recovery plan, write letters, make phone calls and follow up until all identity-related fraud is resolved.  You do not have to know for certain that you are a victim of identity theft.  If you are concerned due to a lost or stolen wallet or purse, home or automobile burglary, or notification of a data breach, for example, you may still be submitted for assistance.  The Advocate will investigate thoroughly to identity any identity fraud that may have occurred and work with you to resolve all issues.
  • Family Coverage – Every accountholder whose account includes the recovery benefit has access to the recovery services.  If your identity theft affects one or more of your family members, the Advocate will assist your family member as well.  Eligible individuals include:
    • Spouse or domestic partner

      (includes dependents in college or military)
    • IRS-qualified dependents (for example, a handicapped individual)
