DIFFICULT, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. COLLECT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION. VERIFY THAT YOU KNOW WHO MY MOTHER IS, WHERE SHE LIVES, WHO MY SISTER IS AND WHERE SHE LIVES, BUT I CAN'T GET YOU TO RETURN A CALL, EMAIL, CHAT, ETC. TO FINISH VERIFYING.

It was so good, and everything went so well, I understand the time waiting, but they needed that time to make sure they got it right. Just work a little on the time waiting for the video call.

November 8, 2023

This crucial process was so simple for me to follow and understand. Even with a temporary ID the agent was able to verify my data within minutes. My agent was nice and understanding. Great job!

I would have given the top grade as everything was very easy to navigate except for one sort of curveball. When the options were presented to select the qualification category, I didn't see an option for a social security recipient.

When there is no simple SS recipient option I think some people might confuse that with the Supplemental Social Security option and select that. I had to do a double-take and not make that selection and remembered that my choice was the "Low Income" option and then remembered the next step of providing my statement from the SSA which I easily took care of.

So, the suggestion I've passed on: maybe retaining the "Low Income" option but adding an option for "Social Security Recipient" with both needing to provide the same document.

Otherwise, I finished the process in about 3 minutes including finding my SS account info. So good going and thank you for asking. Tom
