If you would like to check to see if your records were a part of the data hack you can do so at the Office of Personnel Management website.
The Office of Personnel Management was the target of a cyber intrusion. It resulted in the theft of background investigation records. The information was a result of individuals having provided information for a background check or being included on a background investigation form by a spouse or other significant person.
You may receive a letter notifying you that your records were breached. If you don't know but are worried about it you can check on the provided link.

My wife, kids, and myself.. all received letters. I signed up at the site for the 3 years of credit monitoring.. I did find out that my wife opened a Kohl's card with my name on it. Opened a whole new discussion...

Just got a letter 2 weeks ago. Need to sign up for the free credit monitoring. This isnt my first (Home Depot was my first) but this involves finger prints. Technology a blessing and a curse.

Yeah, got mine a month ago. No finger prints but everything else. They got me on the Home Depot thing. Got me on something else too. Consider a credit lock. You have to pay an annual fee plus for each reporting service, but better than getting cleaned out. Sometimes a total lockdown is the best choice.
