For anyone residing abroad, the documents accepted are too restrictive. The video agent was effective and professional.

It works, mostly
September 12, 2025

Nothing about this website can compensate for 16 years of rejected disability, housing and welfare applications. A quick coat of paint via an app does not cover up the obvious corruption and negligence that plagues these systems in the usa

Great Sign on Service

I never have to remember multiple logins or emails. I use ID.ME to access everything I need and to verify my military history with others without supplying a single DD214

Safe and easy.
September 12, 2025

Using this site has made things easier for me. Reaching my care provider is within ease. Knowing that the site is secured. It has made me happy that I get to schedule appointments. Massage my doctor's and tell them what I need and they will never leave you hanging.

Vietnam, USMC vet
September 12, 2025

The ID me account works flawlessly. I had a bad experience because I had renewed my computer five years ago, which was already 10 years old at that time and a new cell phone since then I changed my email address which made it very difficult to get back into my old ID account Once I contacted a video chat everything works fine. I love the program and I have no complaints. I would recommend it to anybody. Just make sure you read everything before you hit the wonderful enter button. I use it out because I have to get on the VA website and government websites. Make sure you download their authenticator app first.

Tedious process
September 12, 2025

It took almost 2 weeks to get verified because, despite pressing Continue over and over, it never went to the third step. I had to use a different email address that's separate from the email address i use for professional things. I hated this process with a passion.

You have come a long way
September 12, 2025

I used to spend hours on the phone each week trying to determine a student's eligibility for VA educational benefits. Now I simply log in to VA.gov/Enrollment Manager and have access to complete incoming students quicker. I also notice the VA determines eligibility for educational benefits much quicker. It used to be a firm 30 days and now a student might see it right after submitting the application.

After living abroad for many years coming back and getting all my veterans stuff back in order was a nightmare, then I was trying to prove my medical veterans and was sent to numerous directions and then I got to the part where Id me said it could help me navigate to the site, I did not know that years later I was going to review my work history and could use it again, I am so glad I signed up and can use it over and over Thanks
