IDENTITY THEFT INSURANCE

Identity theft insurance, often bundled with home.

Identity theft coverage helps with the time and money spent recovering from a stolen identity. Most home carriers offer it as a low-cost endorsement; some sell it standalone. Worth having, easy to add.

WHAT'S COVERED

What identity theft insurance covers.

Recovery expense reimbursement

Reimbursement for expenses you incur recovering from identity theft: notary fees, certified mail, lost wages from time off work, attorney consultations, and credit-monitoring services. Most policies cap at $25K to $50K per incident.

Lost wages from time off work

Identity theft recovery is time-intensive: calling banks, filing police reports, disputing charges, getting credit frozen. Coverage typically reimburses up to a daily cap ($1K to $5K) for time off work spent resolving the issue.

Legal expenses for restoration

Attorney fees for legal work needed to restore your identity, dispute fraudulent accounts, or defend against fraudulent debt collection. Typically capped at $5K to $15K.

Credit monitoring services

Some policies include credit monitoring (e.g., 1 year of three-bureau credit monitoring) as part of the coverage. Others reimburse you for services you sign up for after a documented theft.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS

Where identity theft policies have edges.

Direct financial loss is not covered

The money that was stolen from you is typically NOT reimbursed by the identity theft policy. Your bank, credit card company, or the FTC handles direct fraud reimbursement. The policy covers the EXPENSE of recovery, not the loss itself.

Pre-existing theft / known events

Identity theft that was discovered or reported before the policy started is excluded. Like all insurance, coverage applies to future events.

Family member identity theft

Most policies exclude identity theft by family members living in the same household. Family fraud is a distinct legal issue handled outside insurance.

Business identity theft

Personal identity theft policies exclude business or commercial identity theft (your company being impersonated). Commercial cyber liability is the corresponding business product.
