Took three of us over 30 mins. Two phones and my granddaughter's hand computer to comply. Not for old vets. Its much easier to get into my bank acct. I wont attempt it again. Whoever built it should be fired.
It took me over two weeks to upload documents that were accepted. The process was frustrating, and I often wanted to give up. I have been a recipient of this program, and there's no reason for me to have to go through all those hoops in order to reapply.
It is simple, for a first time. By using it, it will make it simpler.
I'm not one for giving good reviews but this was in depth which makes me feel good.
Fastest way to get information on account information is accessible

Very Easy to use. Helped me apply for my Social Security Benefits.
It took you through a lot of unnecessary steps especially for an older person or for someone with no computer skills.
It took only a few minutes to complete, return was almost immediate
Dissatisfied with gaining access to SSI after going through the face recognition process. Tried to then login and the system took me back to obtaining a verification code. Vicious cycle!
