UNABLE TO LOGIN to SOCIAL SERCURITY
February 6, 2025

My ID was just verified by your representative.
Then I made an attempt to LOGIN to Social Security services at: https://secure.ssa.gov/
And as soon I PRESS OK I receive the following message:
"We are unable to verify your identity
Your identity information from ID.me does not match our records. To resolve this issue, please report any changes to your personal information, such as your name, to the Social Security Administration, External website ID.me, or both.
The identity information mismatch will not affect your Social Security benefits."

- I have tried CHROME and Microsoft EDGE, and I face the same problem!
Please help me to resolve the issue

It was a great way to make a complex thing easy and efficient. I do recommend adding the option to "switch over" from computer to phone before a call if the website detects there is no webcam available. 100% will use again!

Honestly, my partner and I, with 17 years of higher education between the two of us, took an hour just to get one bloody form filled out. It was so frustrating they make you move your head around like you're in a zoo at the monkey ward, you feel like an absolute idiot, and it kept timing out. The whole experience was so frustrating and we were cussing like stevedore's before the time was up. Completely idiotic, I mean, we were just trying to fill out a damn form without any Social Security number on it, so stupid…

Have a lot of patience and time when you start the process. I guess I haven't finish because somehow I didn't ever get to the video selfie. Good luck.
