Nerve wracking experience when attempting to sign into my secure Government account and was unable to do so unless and until I verified several very personal & confidential documents, then had a face to face verification process with a representative of ID.me who reviewed my information then required me to show front and back of these documents so he could verify my credentials.

I don't think the process for getting our documents on uploaded could have been more FRUSTRATING!

I have worked in IT for many years and this website is lousy. Since we have already waited over two hours to chat with someone I'm assuming they have closed because it's 5:30 PM our time almost.

It really is making me angry that we're probably going to have to go through more of the same tomorrow to get verified so we can get our tax refund.

Give me my life and freedom
December 13, 2022

Once I had signed on to id.me and simple follow the instruction. And make my life much easier with social security account. Whatever i need to get statement or other things. Man! Thiss is good for me. I don't to need to call thru the Relay call. I love it. So anytime. I can just log in. Get what I need to do business with. I honestly hate calling the relay call to social security. Thinking this is a scam call. So Now I don't have to worry about it. Everything connects to my identification. This is the REAL ME! Thank you, ID. Me

I've been in the process to gain access to my SSA since 2020, and as you know, every SSA office was either closed or unavailable, then they opened to ID.me to allow login. After 3 hours of frustrations, we FINALLY reached a person, and are able to use ID.me now!
