Protect Yourself from Identity Theft and Fraud
Your financial security matters — especially for people with disabilities who may face unique challenges when fraud occurs.
Identity theft can disrupt your life, drain your finances, and cause unnecessary stress. People with disabilities are often targeted because of perceived vulnerabilities, making it even more important to stay informed and take protective steps. The National Disability Institute is here to help you recognize, prevent, and recover from fraud — with free, practical resources designed for your needs.
Why This Matters for People with Disabilities
- Disability benefits and health-related accounts are often prime targets for fraudsters.
- Varying income situations can make financial recovery harder after fraud for people with disabilities.
- Access barriers in reporting and recovery systems can leave people with disabilities more vulnerable.
