Avoid If Possible
February 18, 2025

The VA changed their login process for MyHealtheVet to require a verified ID.me or a VA.gov account. I'm unable to drive so I do not have a driver's license or state ID. I do have a VA issued picture Health ID. The ID.me website says this can be used as an alternate primary ID, but the verification process rejects it. Customer Service was of no help and didn't seem to understand the issue on even a basic level. So essentially - my VA issued Health ID was not an acceptable ID to log on to the VA health website. Which seems absurd.

Ridiculous
February 18, 2025

I tried to log in multiple times to no avail. I verified through my driver's license but still can't get in. All I want is " My I.D. Protection Identification number so I can file my taxes.

I'm trying to submit, but that won't work.

Scam?
February 18, 2025

I was advised to do this to prevent identity theft. But the first MFA code I was sent could not be entered. Then I was allowed to continue. At the end of taking the selfie, there was a message that the process did not work but I received a second MFA text that I entered and apparently the process went through. I have done this now, but wish I had not as my gut feeling is that this may be a scam. If I were you, I would avoid.
