I just got laid off from a bank mortgage company do to lack of production due to the increase of interest rates I want to file Georgia labor for unemployment benefits using this system for ID verification, the wait time was a bit long, one I finally reached the agent she made me feel comfortable in a moment of uncertainty. No one likes to get laid off the feeling is horrible and hopelessness however with the video chat and the attitude in the agent made me feel a sense of hope. It's the little things that matters we are all humans.

Fast and Easy to Sign-up
November 2, 2022

Getting my ID.ME account was fast and easy. They were able to verify my status as a veteran. When accessing various retail and government sites requiring proof of being a veteran for either retail discounts or government account access, it worked very well. I did not have to provide additional information.
