Investopedia explains 'Identity Fraud Reimbursement Program'

In addition to providing monetary compensation, these programs often provide a wealth of information to victims on the steps they need to take to resolve the matter and clear up their credit reports. These programs tend to provide reimbursement ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 and can usually be purchased individually for around $25 to $50 annually. They may also be offered as an employee benefit or as an add-on product to other types of insurance. Some homeowners' insurance companies include this protection in their standard policies.
