Id.me doesn't work for me. It's a catch-22. I've been living in Europe for a long time and things like my US driver's license is expired. What's the solution?
I got all set up and things were working. Than, it quit, now I CAN'T EVEN GET INTO THE VA WITH MY OLD ACCOUNT. I have a lot of medical issues going on and I can't even comunicate with the va. Whats so great??
The very process of establishing a new account has been made SO complicated that they may as well just delete half of the Veterans trying to keep in the system. This seems typical of the VA being experts on what they are NOT willing to do for Veterans
Tried to set up an account . Was a nogo I live in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Won't work for me here. And from what I can see it's not working for others also. Word of advice . Don't put something out there unless you know its going to work for everyone .
I have been working on my VA Claim with the DAV. I filed a claim 10 years ago for Kidney cancer. I am on the Agent Orange registry with 80% disability. They later gave me a 100 % disability when I got Non Hodgekin Lymphoma, but reduced it back to 80% when I went into remission, even though I keep having checkups with my Ongaligist. I refined with the new Pact-Act for my Kidney Cancer, with the DAV Rep. But when I got a copy of the report back that it had been received ( with my doctors medical records ) there was no mention about a claim for my Kidney Cancer, or removel.
New account set up sucks. I've tried 3 or 4 times. Can't upload license. OK, I'll go to post office. Sorry, we're having trouble with accounts from your state. Some vets are older and can't handle this crap.
Why would a new sign in make a difference? What would a hacker do with the information, get more meds, maybe? Doesn't make sense to me unless you have already been hacked!
Im in the Philippines and do not have any US Identification besides my passport. I am so frustrated trying to sign up on the new aapplication. Ive spoken to people on the help line, but it has NOT been helpful! I have been trying every method there is for the past 4 months. At this point I am resolved to calling the VA for info, even though the time difference is prohibitive! I dont know what else i can do!!😢
So true! I hope others who are having the same problem will complain heavily. They CAN do something more than just telling you to go to a post office! This is totally ridiculous.
I have started to use the new sign crap, and I mean crap. I have to sign in 3 different times! Then it take some BS page, the service is horrible, and to sign up they want you photo id, they want SSN and all this crap. Worst service ever, so I don’t use health e get any longer I just the VA direct and us a note to keep track. To hell with these people
From the comments I have read, this isn't working. I haven't been able to get into my husbands VA account for him in a long time. Every time I try to log in it wants you to change the password. Then it will not work.
Tried to get an ID me set up and failed after a couple hours of going down empty rabbitholes in a labyrinth of digital avenues that made no sense. Frustrated and angered by the absurdity of the process, I STILL have NO idea if I succeeded or not! I don't have an ID me card and have received no correspondence regarding my attempts. I'm not digitally crippled, but this system is unintuitive, difficult to navigate and heartlessly frustrating. I figure if it means I can't access my benefits after Jan. 1, 2025, I can handle it. I feel sorry for my fellow veterans who may NEED their benefits more than I need mine.
From the way my fellow Veterans are talking about this "New" sign in, I'll not bother until it's fixed. Please advise when it is safe and OK to sign in. Yeah - I remember - SNAFU
You've made it even more complicated. Do you delight in plaguing us with this nonsense? If you *really* want to make it simple for us ("like your own wallet" as you said), we should be able to do that simply -- I carry my wallet with me and don't need to remember long strings of code to access it!!!
No matter how big I make my license or how clear it is, this crap system cannot read it to verify my ID. Every letter and number is crystal clear!!!! Get a better reader...
I’d really like to know who wanted less sign in options. You only had to use one. To me it was just another hassle created by someone who didn’t have enough to do. It took me about two months to get a license photo that the site would accept.
Fix the message portion. It keeps kicking me out after I write out my message, then it deletes my message without giving me a chance to save it. After that, I have to rewrite the entire message. IT GETS SO FRUSTRATING!!!
I made efforts to make the change and the system would not recognize me. It somehow recognizes my email yet wouldn't allow me to move on. Is there a IT section that I can reach out to. I want to be in compliance and I need to communicate with my PACT/PCP. Help. Thanks
This new system is fucked up. I've been trying to get onto the VA website through the new sign up since October. I can't hold my camera steady enough to send in a picture of it which is required. I live a lone and have no one to help me. There is no link to push for help.
How about a step by step video on how to do this? That would a better use for your resources. This one isn't helping anyone get through the process. I got real id several years ago and it works fine. I do remember that is was a confusing to get it.
I read all the comments and can't find one who said "it was easy to used" what was the real reason to change because I feel unsafe now than before, not all of us are computer masters, this is a reminded :more words to use more difficult will be" as a veteran that can't use their hand like others you are making my life more miserable than before. Keep up the "" GOOD WORK", yea right
I registered with ID.me a few years ago for access to IRS info and an IRS pin. It was a bit of a pita but once done it works just fine for the IRS and VA access. My wife on the other hand it took a few tries to get it to work. She had to for the social security access. No issues after the initial registration process. Main problem for her was with the selfie and the drivers license pics.
Is a total nightmare I suffer from Neuropathy on my hands and I have to answer so many questions and requiere more documents to create the account I try but my private info could be compromise this is people I don't recognized who can promise it will be safe . Also, during the process my account was suspended or deleted that's the right word where that info I already included go? The DOD sign in was and still the best.
He’s telling me I have two email addresses one Gmail and one contest it doesn’t know which one it wants to use then it keeps telling me it doesn’t like the photo of my drivers license somebody please help us. Here it is 13 December and we have until 1 January to get this straightened out.
Just as many have stated, it is a pain in the butt to get it set up but it's not too difficult. It does take a little time but if this new process does indeed help protect my valuable information, it's worth it. So far everything seems to be running fine for me and the pages automatically redirect to where I want to go.
This is all Bullshit! I have been trying for 2 months to get the NEW login ID. No matter what I do they keep telling me they can not read my Drivers licence. The VA has more personal information about me than anyone on earth. So tell me WHY do they need to see my State ID??? I have emailed them countless times and all you get back is some stupid computer response that is of no help at all.
Just had to reset my id.me from when they got hacked because???? Why do you have to agreed to sharing your personal data to 3rd parties to finish the registration?
And, please Cancel Your Contract with the USPS. Today, I was expected one of my medications to be delivered. Why today? Because, I was told twice to expect my delivery today. And...my mail carrier didn't deliver today. At 7:02 pm I received a message informing me that my Mailbox couldn't be accessed for delivery. In other words, it never showed up. No one on my entire street received anything from the USPS. At least use UPS.
It is 13 December, can you get this straightened out? It doesn’t like my drivers license photo I can’t get it uploaded. It doesn’t know whether it wants my Gmail or my Comcast email. I’ve logged onto ID Me and the VA website I just can’t get it coordinated. This is not as easy as Blake makes it sound. I can’t even get this stupid comment to post so now it may post twice. Who knows let’s give it a try again.
This is BS on a stick. The only purpose of this sign-in mess is to make a universal ID system. VA could spend their time better making the health id card totally secure and usable as the sole source for 6:29
After reading through at least 50 responses, I find the same response, without exception, the general consensus is BULLSHIT! As ever, the va saves on expenses if they just make accessing services impossible. Now, my only option is calling my local clinic and either being on hold forever or left leaving voice messages, usually both. Does anyone expect this will make recruiting easier?
My husband is a Vietnam Veteran, with a Mental disability, as his wife and his caregiver, I’m doing everything for his care. Can I sign in my name with his informations??
Veterans in their 80's for thr most part don't like or trust computers. And, going through multiple verifications and setting up accounts on other sites. Will only confuse and anger more veterans. I'm 59 and I've spent many years watching the VA "change & adapt" for better service to our veterans. You've only made it more difficult and frustrating dor veterans. But, what else should we expect from people with no experience, making decisions in 3 piece suits in a glamorous office somewhere.
This is such a disappointment! Good grief! FUBAR only begins to describe it. I have 2 factor authentication with my bank for crying out loud. Not good enough for the VA? Go figure. I am ashamed of the people who rolled this out. Come back to reality, please!
This ID.ME is horrible. IT DOES NOT WORK. You make me have a USA cell phone number, but I don't live in the USA! Then when I call the "helpline" there is NO answer. This is your customer SERVICE number? WTH are you doing? What kind of crap are you trying to pull? Why can't you just "validate me" with my EMAIL address that's already on file. NOW thanks to YOU, I can't access My medical appointments and prescriptions AT ALL. Thanks VA. YOU HAVE FAILED another 20 year veteran.
When are you going to start talking about what happens when they remove all of our health insurance and benefits? When you going to stop talking about we have to resign up and things that aren't going to be here and apparently a month???????
THE CEO of ID.ME is laughing all the way to the bank on this one. I bet he got a nice fat contract for something that FAILS VETERANS. Repeatedly. Hey Blake, I thought Rangers don't leave anyone behind? Turn in your tab, poser.
I had to check something on my Social Security account today, and they gave me the same screen you show in this video. I already had ID.me account for the VA claims a while back, so I used that with the same password. It worked, but it was still tricky with a selfie for biometric identity and a couple other steps, but it worked. Looks like ID.me will work for any (?) government agency, they mentioned the IRS, SSA, and VA. In that regard one login for all agencies is definitely simpler.
The Vet does not have a cell phone and had a stroke so meeting the requirements of Id. me is not possible He has s my healthen.vet account that he was granted by the VA but how to get an id.me account. Cant seem to find a way to help him. (his sister). Help.
I already have a Login.gov and ID.me sign-ins but for the life of me cannot figure out how to use either to login to VA. All info I see takes you thru establishing one of these and trying to start at the step after establishment does nothing. Maybe I’m just dense but having started with analog in 1961 and digital in 1972, I doubt it. Seems more like “We’s from da gubmn’t and we’s here to hep ya”
There was no need for this. I feel like they just had a big push to sign up for myhealthevet and now another change? I don't want to give all my info to ID.me just to get refills on my meds. Knowing the VA the ID.me log in will be changed in a few years to something else.
Why would a new sign in make a difference? What would a hacker do with the information, get more meds, maybe? Doesn't make sense to me unless you have already been hacked!

And...my mail carrier didn't deliver today. At 7:02 pm I received a message informing me that my Mailbox couldn't be accessed for delivery. In other words, it never showed up. No one on my entire street received anything from the USPS. At least use UPS.
It is 13 December, can you get this straightened out? It doesn’t like my drivers license photo I can’t get it uploaded. It doesn’t know whether it wants my Gmail or my Comcast email. I’ve logged onto ID Me and the VA website I just can’t get it coordinated. This is not as easy as Blake makes it sound. I can’t even get this stupid comment to post so now it may post twice. Who knows let’s give it a try again.
This is BS on a stick. The only purpose of this sign-in mess is to make a universal ID system. VA could spend their time better making the health id card totally secure and usable as the sole source for 6:29
for HEALTHEVET!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I just added a whole paragraph which you guys deleted. I would like to thank you for not helping the veterans. Because you guys aren't helping anyone.
I use both logins and have no problems entering my VA.gov account and accessing my information. Good video explaining why VA did the change. 😀
After reading through at least 50 responses, I find the same response, without exception, the general consensus is BULLSHIT! As ever, the va saves on expenses if they just make accessing services impossible. Now, my only option is calling my local clinic and either being on hold forever or left leaving voice messages, usually both. Does anyone expect this will make recruiting easier?
no this is the old admiration messing things up for the new one and vets have a worse time and get disenfranchised
Like we aren't already. Shew.
You cannot spell and your conspiracy theories are pathetic!
Yep
Yet... there is no support.. from IDme.. it sucks
My husband is a Vietnam Veteran, with a Mental disability, as his wife and his caregiver, I’m doing everything for his care. Can I sign in my name with his informations??
Just create his account and use his information (with his permission obviously) to sign in and access it.
Veterans dependent award and chapter 35. Can a vet get both if 100 percent p and t
Can not get in.
all gov.is like that now i had to do it to see my pension with opm.
Veterans in their 80's for thr most part don't like or trust computers. And, going through multiple verifications and setting up accounts on other sites. Will only confuse and anger more veterans. I'm 59 and I've spent many years watching the VA "change & adapt" for better service to our veterans. You've only made it more difficult and frustrating dor veterans. But, what else should we expect from people with no experience, making decisions in 3 piece suits in a glamorous office somewhere.
I'll be calling in meds and they send me appt. notices. Never had no luck collecting mileage except for Gaylord appts.
It does not work as the DUFAS explains...
I hope it works
It doesn't.
You can hope in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first. It doesn't work.
This is such a disappointment! Good grief! FUBAR only begins to describe it. I have 2 factor authentication with my bank for crying out loud. Not good enough for the VA? Go figure. I am ashamed of the people who rolled this out. Come back to reality, please!
This ID.ME is horrible. IT DOES NOT WORK. You make me have a USA cell phone number, but I don't live in the USA! Then when I call the "helpline" there is NO answer. This is your customer SERVICE number? WTH are you doing?
What kind of crap are you trying to pull? Why can't you just "validate me" with my EMAIL address that's already on file.
NOW thanks to YOU, I can't access My medical appointments and prescriptions AT ALL. Thanks VA. YOU HAVE FAILED another 20 year veteran.
When are you going to start talking about what happens when they remove all of our health insurance and benefits? When you going to stop talking about we have to resign up and things that aren't going to be here and apparently a month???????
As you "dedicated your life to this, (making money) IDme has no support.. it is just another way to scam...
Great addition veteran security! I find it very easy to use!
You must work for the VA.
I have both accounts. Easy to sign up and use. I like the change.
1% er.
Which section of the VA do you work for?
Thanks
For what? This is a joke and doesn't work. ID.me is screwing veterans with the VA's tacit approval.
THE CEO of ID.ME is laughing all the way to the bank on this one. I bet he got a nice fat contract for something that FAILS VETERANS. Repeatedly. Hey Blake, I thought Rangers don't leave anyone behind? Turn in your tab, poser.
💯💯
I had to check something on my Social Security account today, and they gave me the same screen you show in this video. I already had ID.me account for the VA claims a while back, so I used that with the same password. It worked, but it was still tricky with a selfie for biometric identity and a couple other steps, but it worked. Looks like ID.me will work for any (?) government agency, they mentioned the IRS, SSA, and VA. In that regard one login for all agencies is definitely simpler.
I really don't like the biometric identity stuff. All the other identifiers should be sufficient.
The Vet does not have a cell phone and had a stroke so meeting the requirements of Id. me is not possible He has s my healthen.vet account that he was granted by the VA but how to get an id.me account. Cant seem to find a way to help him. (his sister). Help.
I already have a Login.gov and ID.me sign-ins but for the life of me cannot figure out how to use either to login to VA. All info I see takes you thru establishing one of these and trying to start at the step after establishment does nothing. Maybe I’m just dense but having started with analog in 1961 and digital in 1972, I doubt it. Seems more like “We’s from da gubmn’t and we’s here to hep ya”
There was no need for this. I feel like they just had a big push to sign up for myhealthevet and now another change?
I don't want to give all my info to ID.me just to get refills on my meds.
Knowing the VA the ID.me log in will be changed in a few years to something else.
Why would a new sign in make a difference? What would a hacker do with the information, get more meds, maybe? Doesn't make sense to me unless you have already been hacked!
