Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committees on House Administration, and the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill extends identity protection coverage for federal employees and others whose personal information was compromised in data breaches at federal agencies. The legislation amends existing law to make identity protection benefits available indefinitely rather than expiring in 2026, ensures victims receive at least $5 million in identity theft insurance, and extends coverage for the rest of an affected individual's life. The bill also allows federal agencies starting in fiscal year 2026 to use their budgeted funds to reimburse employees and contractors for privacy protection services they purchase to safeguard their personal information. The legislation was introduced in August 2026 and was referred to the House Committees on Oversight and Government Reform, House Administration, and the Judiciary for consideration.
