Put in military info to get Verizon phone discount. Easy to fill in blanks and quick response.
The process was quite simple even for a 75 year old
Hello Alfred! We are glad that you were able to complete the identity verification process with ease. Thank you for your 5-star review of ID.me -ID.me Social Response Team
Huge issue logging on; bottom line, they needed to connect my account with my "user name of the pass" to my "user name of the present". When I had issue logging on I reached out to support and they assisted. My contact was "Aaron".
His assistance much appreciated. I was going through a difficult time and "he was great". Being on the customer service side and helping folks with issues and concerns, his responses to me was "like looking in a mirror". His responses and line he took was just as I would, provide the information and directives and open the door for communication. "Great Job".

UPDATE: 3 Days later...
Received an email response to my message from 3 days ago to EDD inquiring about the error message I kept receiving after entering my DL number. EDD apparently was having an issue with their online system in verifying information through the CA DMV database. But that the issue has been finally resolved and I could continue with the registration process. So I tried registering again and it finally worked! But I still think the process of getting verified via ID.me was not exactly a seamless experience for me as I had to do it through a video call with a referee since my mobile number was giving ID.me an issue to verify me the 'fast' way using my biometric data and there wasn't an option to use my landline home phone since it cannot receive texts. So I will only deduct 1 star.
***PREVIOUS REVIEW (3 Stars)***
Even after carefully following all the instructions in validating my identity via ID.me using two primary documents, and then successfully being verified by ID.me, the info they shared with the EDD government website (my SDI Online account) apparently was not enough when trying to register as a claimant. Kept giving an error message (code: E313) during claimant registration so now I will end up doing everything by mail anyway. And it will take 2-4 weeks just to get the form mailed to me causing a huge delay. There should be an added tip from EDD to make sure to register an account with them way ahead of time before submitting your claim to help offset the these possible delays.
I revisited the id.me website to reverify our affiliations (military retiree with spouse and as a student). Their website is very easy to navigate. Many associate ID.me with verifying military affiliations. ID.me offers these great discounts to those who step up to serve in the following fields: military, students/alumni, nurses, healthcare, teachers, first responders, and government. These exclusive discounts are wonderful. You can put even more money back in your pocket when used with their cash-back options.
I used the Lowe's discount on my purchase today and earned cash back. I purchased my gift card, which I used to pay for my purchase, using a sale price, and saved double on my purchase. Thank you, ID.me, for these wonderful deals for all those who serve!

I'm a teacher, so I uploaded a redacted version of my contract so salary info was kept private. Submitting my proof of membership and the approval process was under 30 minutes. It was probably shorter than that but that's when I checked my status on the website and saw that I had been verified.
