No headache identification

I've used ID.me with the Veterans Administration, beard care companies, and now home improvement companies and it makes it so simple to apply for Veterans discounts.

CONFUCIUS
May 15, 2023

We wondered if it was a Scam to somehow get the Refund from People, so I waited a while and talked to Friends and Family.Most of them said don't do it. So I checked on IRS on Line and it left me with a better feeling, and went ahead with it. The Security was good, but the rest could be a bit improved. So now can't wait to see how long it takes the money to hit my Bank. But it could confuse older People...

Video chat worked best
May 14, 2023

I was unable to complete the task of verifying my identity with the first option of uploading photos of my ID, but with the video chat option, I encountered an extremely kind and helpful agent who made the experience pleasant. I recommend just going with the video chat option and skipping the first option.
