I highly recommend everyone to register with ID ME! When the system went into place the unemployment compensation I wasn't able to do the ID ME registration and needless to say it has truly caused a headache! I was having problems not being able to log into my account with UC so I called and spoke to the MOST AMAZING & HELPFUL rep, Shelia & she walked me through it because between January 2022 - April 2022 I have had 2 fraudulent claims for UC benefits opened under my social security & now that I am registered with ID ME I know have peace of mind knowing that the next horrible human being who tries to do this again they will not be able to pretend to be me!

Use PNG photo format to satisfy the minimum 40kb requirements and do self-serve if possible, and, if you need help and go with the video call, don't give up if your first agent is less than helpful. Try again if they blow you off, and see if you don't get a very helpful angel, like I did.
