SCARY EXPERIENCE
December 10, 2023

I received email notification from Soc Security that a message was waiting for me on their website.
I had previously used ID.me to establish mysocialsecurity account. Now when I get this email notification I am stopped by ID.me to go through many time consuming steps of adding additional security information that I feared was a scam to get MORE of my personal info that included uploading document and face recognition video. I felt scared that it was a trap. So many entities lately have experienced hacks into their system so I felt worried about providing all this information when I had already last year established a relationship with ID.me. Good luck to all of us that are allowing this process to upload so much personal information.

Many things to do and verify. Some had to be redone because: Driver's License was 1 week expired despite the fact that it is acceptable up to 1 year post expiration in other areas. Software could not make out clearly taken photo. Software described clearly marked USA Passport as "Foreign, non USA".

Extra security is a plus
December 3, 2023

I was happy to know there's additional security through the IRS but people should know it may take a while for the photo upload process to successfully work. Attempted several times with my smart phone but was not successful and had to use my laptop.
