My son is a disabled adult with autism. He's never had anything in his name. No bills and his medical is taken care of by Medicaid so no medical bills. His phone is free through the Free State program so he doesn't even have a phone bill. He has an ID a birth certificate and a social security card. But none of those along with the phone number that is directly linked to his name was enough to get him a video call to ID him and when we put forward three to four different messages asking for customer service to contact us via email we only got a AI response that did not answer any of our specific questions on how to go forward. One of them actually said if we had any more problems basically tough luck and go to the IRS and ask them what to do rather than deal with them. Other than this problem I think the security and whatnot is great

Worthy of the time it requires

It was tedious but doable - the outcome is worth it. The protection and the ease is worth the time for anything needed for filing tax return

You go through the flaming hoops once, and then it is easier. They are a third party authentication provider.

A retired guy proving he is alive.
April 17, 2025

I was not adequately prepared tecnically speaking, and was helped tremendously by ID. Me staff member on the video call to make the video call a possibility. I was treated as a true professional would treat a valued client. It was a very positive experience rather than one I had been dreading.

I signed up for this service a year or so back then did not know how to use it so I did not use it for a long time. Now the VA wants us to use it. But I had a different phone number when I signed up for it and they make you do three checks one of which is using the phone number you signed up with. If you do not have access to that phone number you will never again be allowed to use your account because nothing on the website allows you to make any changes. If you call or write to them a machine responds saying they will get back to you at a later time or date. They NEVER do. I spent weeks trying to get ANYTHING done and I always got NOTHING back from them other than an email saying we will get back to you shortly. I guess shortly means never to machines.

ID. Me for Latifan Ishmail

I was able to do this with assistance Was somewhat nervous as I am not sure why all the additional information was requested as I thought that when I reported my husband's death to Social Security that they would have informed the other relevant agencies I didn't know that I had to do this separately. I do apologize for this. If I made any other mistakes I'm very sorry due to ignorance
