Easier than expected ***
September 12, 2022

When I first realized I would have to authenticate who I was for the department of labor I wasn't happy. Then I followed the step by step instructions which were very easy and it took me a total of 15 minutes. Very simple and I was glad to do it so I know my information is safe and secure.
