Awful Service
December 5, 2022

I have been trying for ten days to get an urgent issue resolved and they will not respond. They said they have escalated yet nothing has been done and have left unanswered emails sitting. There is no phone number to contact them and speak with someone. I would give 0 stars if possible. I'm still trying to get this resolved and still this is an urgency for me as this is needed to resolve a NYS claim
And they sit there and do not respond. Awful support.

Very easy and secure
November 4, 2022

I tried for the last six months to access my account via the social security web site, because I set my account up years ago with an old email it was impossible to update via web page and phone. ID.me was simple, secure and I'm able to access my account.
