VETERAN WITH A REVIEW
April 7, 2025

Initially, not bad, but my UPS store close by, kiosk was down, I didn't have a smart phone, not everyone does, then had to drive all over town to find the only other UPS store to have one. Then when I tried to access my VA files to check on my Meds, the instructions weren't as clear so I had to play around with my computer until I "accidently" found my way to my files, an hour later. You can't just go through the documentation uploads, then log on, there is more, but you need to read the "fine" print MFA? Anyway, I still had a hard time looking up my medications, sending a note to my Physician Asst. Because, it wasn't just about a new way of logging on, for security, they changed everying (VA) within the system itself. (The look). So if you are using ID. Me for anything else, they may be good at security, I will have to wait on that, and see what happens, but I was happy the way the VA did it before.

Pretty Good
April 7, 2025

The results are good, but the process took way to long. Many seniors will have problems with verifying their ID to meet the new Social Security requirements, and while ID. Me works people should expect it to take some time.

My account was suspended. I now have no way of communicating, with Social Security regarding my retirement. I am 64.
When entering your Social Security number twice, ID. Me will change the format of you Social security number on you first attempt. But your second attempt won't match. ID. Me will then suspend your account " for your safety". You will have no communication with Social Security from then on.

I was able to log into the IRS. Gov website with ID. Me (a requirement) but then was not recognized by ID. Me as the same person when trying to log into the SSA (using ID. Me as a requirement). I even followed a link to SSA from IRS. Gov (after successfully loging into IRS with ID. Me) and ID. Me didn't recognize me even after successfully entering user name, password, and validation code. The use of today's technology should be better than that. It makes it frustrating when State and Government platforms require the use of ID. Me but thier auto generated support advice doesn't work, it's after hours, and you have to wait till the next day on hold for over 70 minutes to hopefully, get the situation fixed.
