Three things about a household whose valuables are increasingly not objects.
It funds the cost of restoring your identity: notarizing documents, lost wages for the time spent, legal fees, credit monitoring. It generally does not reimburse money taken from an account, which banks handle separately. People buy it expecting the opposite and are disappointed, so it is worth being clear before rather than after.

Varies more between carriers than most parts of the form.
