Identity restoration insurance can help you recover
While we can’t protect you from identity theft, identity restoration insurance can help make restoring your financial state less painful and costly.
This protection – costing just $25 per year – can be added to your State Farm® home, renters, condominium, manufactured home, or farm policy. It covers you, your spouse, and relatives/
dependents (under 21 years old) living in your household.
Where is ID restoration insurance available?
We offer two options for protection depending on your current policy and the location of your insured property.
- Cyber Event, Identity Restoration, and Fraud Loss coverage (CEIDR) is the option for homeowners, condo unitowners and renters policy holders in all states except N.C. It is also available for Manufactured Home policies in some states. This coverage includes:
- Cyber attack coverage
- Cyber extortion coverage
- Identity restoration including case management service
- Contingent credit monitoring
- Fraud loss coverage
- Identity Restoration coverage (IDR) is available in N.C. for homeowners, condo unitowners and renters policy holders and in all states for farm/ranch policies. It is also available in some states for Manufactured Home policies. This coverage does not include the cyber protection and fraud loss coverage, but does include:
- Identity Restoration case management service
- Identity Fraud Expense Reimbursement
State Farm Cyber Insurance
State Farm offers coverage to better protect your personal identity if you have an identity fraud case or are a victim of a cyber attack. We even provide coverage if you’re responsible for an elderly parent and have power of attorney. Coverages are subject to a combined annual limit of $15,000 and available only for homeowners, renters & condo-unit owners.footnote 1
Cyber attack coverage
Pays for data recovery and system restoration costs as the direct result of a cyber attack involving a computing device.
Cyber extortion coverage
Pays for professional assistance from an expert and response costs for an insured who has experienced a cyber extortion event. A cyber extortion event includes a demand for money to restore access or functionality, or a threat to damage, disable, deny access or distribute content.
Fraud coverage
If you have been a victim of a fraud event, fraud loss coverage helps you in a couple of ways.
- Supplements what is not covered by your homeowners policy, which may already cover limited credit card and debit fraud, check forgery and counterfeit cash.
- Provides coverage for financial loss arising from a wide range of frauds. These include identity fraud, miscellaneous frauds, as well as intentional and criminal deception to induce you to part voluntarily with something of value.
- Offers contingent credit monitoring service for those who suffer loss or theft of a purse or billfold, a computer, or paper records.
