Too Long and took too much time
August 9, 2025

The survey was Too Long. Too many questions. I disagree either way this identity system. Older people don't have money for computer processes. Ssa is going to tax us on too much and not give us full money. We have to buy health insurance. It has all been a Lie! Ssa hasn't sent any detail information out 10 yrs or more before age65.

Awful reliance on using cell phones to upload documents, Bounces around from computer to cell phone & back again. Should be able to accomplish everything on your computer. No excuse for bouncing from one platform to another & back again.

This is why
August 8, 2025

The VA holds all of your records and medical information hostage by requiring identity verification. Id.me will require at least seven separate logins along with 2-factor authentification just get to the link where you upload docs. Once you upload them, there are no prompts letting you know your docs are being processed. Just an idle website... this is why veterans kill themselves. They are in a bad place mentally, cannot access their own I formation, are required to perfor. A kabuki dance to gain entry... they need help, not a barrier to their healthcare!

Using idme
August 8, 2025

I always have a big issue logging into one of my government accounts the regular way. But when I use idme to login to the government site I have zero issues and it's a super smooth process. I'm able to get things done with ease even for online shopping using my military discount.

Well that didn't help
August 8, 2025

I was able to maneuver all the r steps necessary until the validation portion at the end of the process. The phone number that I was forced to use belongs to my elderly mother who has no internet service. There was no way to change the number to another on the account for validation therefore even though I qualify for the discount, I cannot complete the process and therefore No discount.

Interview with a Vampire
August 8, 2025

The person who video called me had several tattoos. She was wearing jewelry in places that are inappropriate for the work environment. I am very disappointed that this company does not require employees to present a professional appearance. I didn't feel comfortable with her having access to my personal information. I would be afraid of her if I saw her in public.

The process was fairly easy. Step by step went well. When an issue came up I was given the option of a video chat. That made the process much easier and simpler.

ID.me really works
August 8, 2025

There was a time when I would have to sign into two or more platforms to get service related to government services. Since I've been enrolled in ID.me I just need to sign into one. I can move from item to item with ease on the ID.me website. James
