RECOVER PII Act

The RECOVER PII Act expands identity protection coverage for individuals affected by federal agency data breaches, extending the duration of protection for the remainder of their lives and increasing the minimum insurance amount to $5 million. Additionally, the bill allows federal agencies to use appropriated funds to reimburse employees or their contractors for up to 100 percent of the costs associated with privacy-enhancing services, such as software or hardware designed to mitigate data risks. These provisions aim to provide long-term financial support and resources to victims of data breaches while ensuring that reimbursement claims are supported by necessary documentation.
