Dislike the website
April 30, 2025

It took me two to three days to get on the site. This is very difficult for the elderly generation who have no one to help them.

Garbage company

This year Social Security didn't send my the needed Tax documents. When I visited their website to download them, they couldn't accept my password because it was too old, and in order to renew my password, they would contact me by email. Unfortunately Comcast had locked the associated email box, so that wouldn't work I couldn't call or visit them because of my deafness and immobility (I am very old!). I kept visiting the SSA website for a solution, when I noticed they accepted ID. Me as a way of logging on. I did a lot of research before I would do that, and when I visited the IRS website to get a tax filing extension, I saw ID me could be used for them too - I was sold! I now hav a downloaded SSA Documents and was also able to change my old email address, Thank you ID. Me.

Worst Junk Service
April 30, 2025

It's simply crap, but a must have. Could not be worse, but I bet they will try...
It's pretty much mandatory now, which is probably why it's so bad.

Whew that was easy!
April 30, 2025

To my surprise my experience with id. Me and the whole video verification was NOT a nightmare! All of the directions were concise. I had no difficulties with turning in photos of my documents or connecting with the video call. The wait time for reviewing my documents I do feel could have been a little faster. However the wait time for a representative to join the video call was almost nothing and the call was expeditious! This experience in comparison to my last dealings with id. Me and the IRS website and the whole prooving my identity thing was night and day! It used to take forever, with no clear answers and insufferable. Well, I'm letting all the procrastinator's and indecisive's out there know that you dont need to put off this chore any longer. Everlasting and arduous no more! Thank you id. Me for changing it up for the greater good and taking a little bit of stress out of things that are stressful!
