Up until this chapter, I’ve focused primarily on dealing with CRAs, creditors, financial institutions, and other aspects of financial identity theft. But any time you have been the target of identity theft, you need to consider how else you might have been affected. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to address the problems in the following three areas:
♦ Government IDs
♦ Tax agencies
♦ Government offered/managed benefits
You’ll at least need to consider these issues if you’ve faced any identity theft. Go through the chapter from top to bottom because the section on the IRS will be affected by what you find out from the Social Security Administration.
