Identity Theft Services and Credit Monitoring

We understand that quick discovery and rapid response are critical to minimize the risk of identity theft. That’s why we provide more than just expense reimbursement. We provide a robust and fully integrated protection program, combining insurance coverage with fully integrated prevention and restoration services. Identity Services and Fraud Expense Coverage consists of the following program components:

• $25,000 FBFS Expense Reimbursement Coverage
• Identity Prevention Services, including complimentary fraud alert assistance, weekly news alerts and a wealth of education
• Identity Credit Monitoring Services(SM) (up to two persons per policy)
• Personalized one-on-one Identity Theft Resolution
• Personalized one-on-one Identity Document Recovery

You’ll receive up to $25,000 reimbursement for the following expenses:

• Attorney fees
• Loss of wages (limited to $250 per day up to $5000)
• Dependent/elder care (subject to loss of wages limit)
• Mail costs
• Phone/long distance costs
• Notarization costs
• Loan application fees

If you have a Farm Bureau Member’s Choice policy with property and/or liability coverage, you may purchase the coverage for just $25 per year. If you have auto coverage only, your policy does not qualify at this time.

The cost is $25 per year.

With your current Identity Services and Fraud Expense Coverage, you are entitled to receive complimentary credit monitoring provided through CyberScout™. Should you discover any fraudulent activity on your credit file, a fraud specialist is on stand-by to resolve any issues. The monitoring program looks for credit score inquiries, requests for new credit, and other activity affecting your credit files, notifying you immediately via e-mail of any changes. Detect fraudulent activity as soon as it appears, and then counteract it with professional assistance.

Note: You cannot sign up for credit monitoring until Identity Services and Fraud Expense Coverage has been added to your policy. If you request the coverage online, it may take two business days before the coverage is added. At that time, you will be eligible to sign up for complimentary credit monitoring.

You must go to www.FBFS.com to sign up for complimentary credit monitoring.

If you signed up for the coverage online, it may take up to two business days for the coverage to be added to your policy.

If you have difficulty with that step, please call Farm Bureau Financial Services’ online support center at 1-800-814-5570.

Unfortunately, if you don’t have an e-mail account, you cannot receive the credit monitoring service portion of the Identity Services and Fraud Expense Coverage. The only mechanism CyberScout (the company that monitors your credit report) uses is e-mail. CyberScout will send e-mails to notify you of any activity on your credit report. If you don’t have an e-mail account, you will not receive notification and the service would not be beneficial to you.
