Terrible and complicated experience.
November 27, 2023

How many devices do I need to own to prove I'm me? My mother would NEVER be able to navigate this atrocity.

Absurdly Complicated process
November 27, 2023

It was extremely difficult for a few reasons. One, my phone is old and the front-facing camera is broken. I still managed to make it work. Two, I suffer from essential tremors, you have no idea how long it took me to take a clear picture of my driver's license. Lastly, when I tried to apply for benefits and entered the ID.me code, nothing happened. I can't apply for benefits because this didn't work, and the state's phone number doesn't work.

Somewhat annoying
November 27, 2023

Just needed to fill out a burn pit registry. Way more difficult than I expected. Once you have everything locked in, it will go faster for logging in. I understand the security. I get it. Just overly annoying.
The worst part about all of this is that I couldn't even fill out the registry questionnaire ON LINE because of some B.S.! VERIFICATION, which is what I already did.
Anyway, just use this ID Me as it does cover way more for verification overall. Hopefully you will find it easier than I did..
