State Farm ID Protection
Is This Your Business?Author: Kaitlyn Short
Since its inception in 1922, State Farm has provided insurance policies covering homes, automobiles, life, and much more. Now, for $25 per year, State Farm also covers the cost of identity restoration following identity theft. Since State Farm is not an identity theft protection company, the company does not offer preventative measures such as credit monitoring and alerts. Rather, the company provides insurance that covers the cost of restoring identity information.
