OPEIU is pleased to announce the OPEIU Identity Protection Benefit has been enhanced with new services and stronger protections, including expanded coverage for your family living in your household.

Effective today, OPEIU members and their families will have access to a more comprehensive defense against identity theft through our new identity protection provider, IdentityIQ (IDIQ), still at no cost to you.

Starting today, all members should visit OpeiuIDProtect.com or call 800-637-5680 to enroll yourself and your family living in your household.

The benefit features state-of-the-art identity and credit monitoring, checking account reporting, and full-service identity restoration that includes insurance and lost wallet assistance in canceling and replacing credit cards. If you become a victim of identity theft, IDIQ’s trained experts will help you restore your identity as close as possible to the level it was before the incident. This can save you hundreds of hours of your own time and productivity. It can also save you money.
