Online portal to check credit-monitoring
If you might have been affected by the OPM background-investigation data breach, you can use a secure OPM Verification portal to submit personal information to check whether you qualify for credit monitoring. The collection is voluntary, covers up to 50,000 individuals, and takes about 5 minutes to complete online, which lets you verify eligibility without calling a government call center.
Validated data shared with OPM and DLA
After you enter the minimally required information, the Defense Manpower Data Center will compare it to an electronic master file to verify whether you were impacted by the OPM cybersecurity incident. Once validated, DMDC will provide the information electronically to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Defense Logistics Agency for subsequent processing.
