Your plan at a glance

A simple safety plan your family can agree on.

A family verification plan is a small set of agreements that protect everyone — especially older adults — from urgent scam messages, gift card requests, verification codes, and impersonation calls. The four checks below are the core of the plan.

Choose trusted contacts before an emergency happens.
Create a family verification phrase for urgent claims.
Agree that money, gift cards, codes, and remote access are never shared under pressure.
Use official apps, saved numbers, or known websites to verify.
