To be honest the only way I understood was really comprehend the instructions. In the future things would simple if we could speak to video agent.Make it simple to have access to reach the video agent because people won't give up or find another format. I'm fortunate I can comprehend in following instructions.

Always can improve
April 6, 2023

Everything was good until the photo of the Drivers License. If you could give a choice to scan the Front and Back and upload on the computer then you wouldn't have to be switching between the phone and computer. I believe it would improve the experience and be less confusing.

Had difficulty following instructions to take my picture and read directions since I had to take off my eye glasses to see the directions. I had to take the picture 3 times since the service is also very slow with uploading. After receiving letter I tried to follow up with my accounting service and he also was unable to help me complete the process. I was finally successful asking for help from a volunteer AARP tax preparer at the library. Wonder if any other seniors experienced this very time-consuming process?

Complex procedure
May 6, 2023

Frustrating and time consuming to the point of almost giving us. Gave up on my first attempt a few months ago when my computer engineer daughter could not help me complete the application.
