In observance of Identity Theft Awareness Week, Jan. 29 – Feb. 2, 2024, VA provides you and your loved ones information on how to safeguard your identity, keeping your VA benefits safe.

Veterans are prime targets for fraudsters, online scammers, and con artists. This International Fraud Awareness Week protects your benefits and sensitive data with the latest fraud prevention resources.

Sending Veteran or other individuals’ Social Security Numbers through the mail is either eliminated or reduced, thanks to a final rule released and being implemented by VA.
