Still deciding
August 15, 2025

It was an easy process. I went into the unemployment office to change my password and username it was very easy. I believe I was moving a little too fast at home.

The ID.me verification gave an error stating 'you may have already verified on another account'. I have not. Was very difficult finding support as ID.me just wants to present FAQs which don't help. Live support is not an option, and it was difficult even finding a way to contact them. It's clear they want to invest minimal in support and their verification system is flawed.

IRS transcript
August 15, 2025

After the video call, it took me almost an entire afternoon to look for the link to access my IRS transcript. Instead, it gave me several options to which I clicked, and clicked and clicked and finally, through sheer luck, found the number that would give me the answer. To my relief, I dialed the number and after several prompts, it finally told me my Tax transcript will be mailed to me within 5 to 10 days. Really! A secure password should more than suffice. Go back to the old way. Will my views be respected or will be penalized by being truthful?

Horrible mess.
August 15, 2025

There is No live human service. The system is full of glitches and there is no choice but to waste SOOOOO much time going in circles with a poorly programmed tech company. I HATE it. I would literally rather wait 2 hours in line to talk to a human being in person to verify my id.

This was an awful experience
August 15, 2025

This system needs to be revamped. It would not accept my documents to verify my identity and there was an extremely long wait time to speak to an actual agent/human being. Very very very frustrating process. Only used it because I was required to apply for benefits through NJDOL. I hope I never have to use this site again.

This is new for me. I'm testing it out for Fabletics. It now offers a 15% off discount for veteran spouses (which I am). I haven't tried using the discount yet but once I do I will leave a more accurate review. The ease of the application was great, no issues. There were a couple of questions but they didn't drag on. I liked the fact it asked questions to confirm that my husband is in fact who he claims to be. I was expecting a simple "is your husband a veteran" question and based on your response you get the discount automatically. I liked the fact it asked had to enter information that was reviewed prior to be being verified. It made me feel more comfortable.

I needed my W2 transcript so I went to IRS website and realized I need to set up ID.me account. Thought it would take me awhile to set up but it was rather quick and simple. Didn't really have any issues while doing that.

Benefits of ID.me

Applying for a state license or needing to identify myself filling out forms is always easy with ID.me. So many agencies now have that access and it is secure and trusted.
