AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes a 2017 federal spending law that provides identity protection coverage to people whose personal information was exposed in data breaches at federal agencies. It removes the 2026 end date so the coverage continues for every fiscal year after 2016, makes the coverage last for the rest of each affected person's life, and requires at least $5,000,000 in identity theft insurance. It also lets federal agencies in all three branches use their salary and expense funds, starting in fiscal year 2026, to pay back employees and supporting contractor employees for up to 100 percent of what they spend on privacy-enhancing services. Workers seeking repayment would have to submit the documents their agency requires.
