Red Flag Rules - Compliance Date June 1, 2010

The "Red Flags and Address Discrepancy Rules," which implement sections of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, were issued jointly on November 9, 2007, by six federal agencies. The rules require financial institutions and creditors to develop and implement written Identity Theft Prevention Programs. Long-term care communities may qualify as a "creditor" depending on your financial practices. LifeSpan has gathered the information below to assist our members in determining: 1) whether your financial practices qualify you as a creditor; and 2) if so, how to develop an Indentity Theft Prevention Program.
