Credit Monitoring Services for Federal Employees Still Active
Credit monitoring and identity theft protection services provided to federal employees after the 2015 cybersecurity incidents at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) remain active for two more years.
This is good news for anyone concerned about the recent breach of Social Security numbers at a company known as National Public Data.
NTEU helped negotiate 10 years’ worth of credit monitoring services for those impacted by the 2015 OPM incidents, which means such services are available until the end of fiscal year 2026.
According to OPM, the services it offers through ID Experts cover any incident of identity theft, regardless of the source of the breach.
OPM has provided this list of FAQs about the coverage.
