Fraud Proof Safety Net
April 8, 2025

Went on line to check medicare payment and to ensure my passwords were up-to-date. Next thing I know I'm uploading my drivers license and my photo. Its just like uploading a check to my bank or when I created an IRS account for paying taxes. This process needs to be standardized across all areas requiring verification of who you are. Verify drivers license with state DMV. If I used my military retiree ID care, verify it with DoD or my passport verify it with DOS. This will safeguard all my identifiable information from bad people. However, I don't think all these agencies are on a single platform enabling easily verifiable personnel date. Why not is my question.

Simple and Straightfoward
April 8, 2025

I was using ID. Me to access the IRS Direct File service and appreciated how few steps there were to create the account. There was a bit of a wait if you don't have a smartphone (like me), but the system did its job.

Unable to speak to a person.

Signing up was easy. But, I need to know if signing in using ID. Me will reidentify me with Social Security. They are requiring people to reidentify. I was unable to contact Social Security.

Assumption by An AI
April 8, 2025

Wants me to take a 'selfie' or join a video group chat! Under the assumption that every one in the world has a cell phone and that the computer they are using comes equipped with a camera and speakers. Would not accept attempted upload of previously scanned ID pictures.

If you don't have "Zoom" downloaded, you'll need to do that. ID. Me doesn't tell you that ahead of time, so after and hour of waiting, you get an impatient agent, who condescendingly tells you to "Ask and friend or neighbor to help you with your technology" and then hangs up. You have to download, and learn how to navigate Zoom before you call back. If you've never used it, there's a learning curve, which you have to battle the agent for more time whilst figuring it out, otherwise, another hang up and more time wasted...
