Read about Identity Protection at VA
VA’s Office of Information Security is dedicated to protecting the sensitive data of Veterans beneficiaries, and all VA employees.

Hours of Operation: 8:00 A.M. - 8:00 P.M. (Eastern), Monday-Friday
Every piece of personally identifiable information, whether it’s a Social Security number, date of birth, home address, etc., is more than just a number. It represents a person’s identity, livelihood, and personal or financial well-being.
VA’s More Than a Number identity protection program provides information to educate Veterans and their beneficiaries on how to protect themselves from identity theft. On this website, you will find a wide range of information on identity theft, how to spot it, ways to prevent it, and what to do if you suspect you are a victim. You can also browse through links to other useful identity theft resources from across the Web.
In addition, we have created a toll-free Identity Theft Resource Line for Veterans and their beneficiaries to call for more information or if they suspect that their identities may have been compromised. The toll-free number is 855-578-5492.
We hope that these More Than a Number resources provide another way for VA to help protect those that have protected this great country.
