As part of UC’s commitment to the well-being and security of our community, a University-paid Identity Theft Protection Program through Experian will be provided for all benefit-eligible faculty, staff, and retirees beginning April 1, 2024.

Key features of the Experian Identity Theft Protection Program include:

  1. Credit monitoring, reports, and scores: Receive credit reports, scores, and real-time alerts for any significant changes to your credit report, helping you detect potential identity theft.
  2. Identity theft insurance and restoration services: Up to $1 million of identity theft insurance and 24/7 restoration services in the unfortunate event of identity theft.
  3. Dark web and proactive monitoring: Active scans of the dark web and many other databases for any compromised personal information.
  4. Device protection and online privacy: A suite of privacy tools to help defend your digital data across all your devices.
  5. Digital financial management: Financial tools and personalized insights to help you achieve your credit and financial goals.

Everyone eligible will be automatically enrolled, but action is required to take advantage of most of the program features.
