Your Rights and Next Steps
If you were affected by the Kelly Benefits data breach, you have important rights and options available to protect yourself and potentially receive compensation.
First, you should carefully review the notification letter sent by Kelly Benefits. The company is offering one year of credit monitoring and identity protection services through IDX at no cost to affected individuals. You must enroll in these services yourself, as Kelly Benefits cannot do this on your behalf.
You should also consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze on your credit file. A fraud alert warns creditors to verify your identity before issuing new credit, while a credit freeze restricts access to your credit report entirely, preventing new accounts from being opened without your consent.
To place a fraud alert or credit freeze, contact one of the three major credit reporting bureaus.
Additionally, you should regularly monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any suspicious activity or signs of identity theft. You can request a free annual credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus.
If you notice any unauthorized transactions or other signs of identity theft, immediately report them to law enforcement, your financial institutions, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
