Identity Monitoring

Monitoring Benefits

Identity theft affects millions of Americans each year and is one of the fastest growing crimes in the country. Protect yourself and your spouse with industry leading identity monitoring.

Identity Monitoring is a Snap

SNAPD® Identity Monitoring uses innovative technology and an individual’s Social Security number, Name, Address, Phone, and Date of birth to scan over a billion consumer transactions (including applications from banks, wireless providers and credit card issuers) to identify questionable activity or evidence of fraud. If the system detects suspicious activity, a specially-trained Advocate immediately contacts you with a live phone call to begin the restoration process.



Identity Monitoring can detect questionable behavior up to 90 days sooner than credit-monitoring and can minimizing damage,  time and effort required to remedy any problems.  

Coverage Includes:

•    High-touch Care (including live phone calls) from Privacy Advocates® to complete the work from start to case completion

•    Wallet Protection to quickly replace contents of a lost or stolen wallet to mitigate damages

•    $25,000 identity fraud reimbursement policy to protect against out-of-pocket costs associated with identity theft including lost wages, legal fees and postage

•    Reduction in Unwanted Solicitations: preapproved credit card offers and junk mail to limit exposure of personal information

•    Three-year rolling history: The plan checks an your identity for past adverse events. By remedying pre-existing conditions, we ensure a firm foundation for identity health

•    Monitor Application Data, Accepted or Denied: Our monitoring looks for actual use as well as attempted use of an employee’s identity to provide unsurpassed protection and to catch identity theft at its earliest attempted use

•    In-House Privacy Advocate Support: We will restore an identity completely eliminating stress, worry and fear.  We will do the work for you…not just assist you through the process
