Thanks OP. I claimed 16 hours for a cool extra $400 (!!!) since I got a notice from the IRS last year that someone else was running using my Social Security number, so I really did need to waste a lot of time sorting that out and have the documentation to prove it. I'm also an OPM victim so who knows if Equifax is really to blame, but I'll blame them anyway.

So how does this work? In order to qualify for the $125, must I already have credit monitoring? The form alludes to this, but doesn't explicitly say it.

Thanks OP. Also to everyone. Y’all should just freeze your credit for security reasons anyway so no one can randomly open credit card in your name even if they steal your info. Also it only take minutes to fill out some online form and let them know you need it unfrozen for a specific amount of time or period if you decide to go car shopping one weekend. Your score would still increase and it just means no one can pull your score without unfreezing.

They can't tell you how long it would reasonably take you to request, receive, and review all three credit reports from the major bureaus so lol if you're not getting your full 10 in.

So when the money finally trickles down to everyone filling this out, we should all get about $1.50, right? I'll take it.

LOL, our legal system is so hosed. You either take them up on their offer, or you explicitly opt out. If you do neither, TOO BAD, SO SAD! If you do nothing, you should be opted out and therefore have the right to sue them later if warranted.

Your bank likely has some free credit monitoring thing as part of your checking account anyway.

I'm going to register once I'm not on public wifi. I froze all my credit once I figured out I was impacted. I would recommend if you aren't getting a loan or new credit card to freeze your credit through each agency (Equifax, experian, transunion) and only unfreeze when you are applying for new credit, so people can't apply for credit cards with your info.

It’s bullshit that they can’t create a single website to freeze your credit vs having to do it three different places. In this age of microservices and all.
