Plain-English Summary
When federal agencies experience data breaches that expose people's personal information like Social Security numbers or addresses, this bill would require the government to provide free identity protection services (such as credit monitoring and fraud alerts) to affected individuals. The measure extends protections that were previously available only temporarily, making them available to more people whose data was compromised in recent breaches at federal agencies. This would help protect Americans from identity theft and fraud that could result from their personal information being stolen.
