Legislation has been proposed, the Reducing the Effects of the Cyber Attack on OPM Victims Emergency Response Act, H.R. 5765, to extend identity theft protection offered to victims of the 2015 OPM data breach to last for life.
Under current law, federal employees who were victims of the 2015 OPM data breach receive identity theft protection through 2026. The General Accountability Office has concluded that the current protection amount of $5 million was unnecessary.
