Key Takeaways
Take Control of Your Information
- When you are filling out forms, you can ask, “Do you really need my Social Security number?”
- And if they don’t, you’re protecting more of your information.
Monitor Your Information
- Check your Credit. The Federal Government allows you to get a free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each credit reporting company. Paige recommends www.annualcreditreport.com.
- Check your Social Security Payments. You can check your deposit amounts and see what you have paid to better plan for retirement and track your accounts. Paige recommends www.ssa.gov.
- Monitor your Medical Information. Check what information insurance companies have on you. Paige recommends www.mib.com.
Take Action
