so existing Login account would not work without re-authentication? What good is it then? If I have to do all that, I might as well do my ID dot ME that I will need to get back into IRS.After reading this thread I figured I best get my house in order. I used my LOGIN.gov account and it worked fine (had to take a picture of passport, myself, and a lot of other steps). Once it was all done it stated that it couldn't find my Medicare account. Of course it couldn't as I'm only 64.5 years old.
You’ll need it to access your IRS.gov account. Now that EFTPS is going away for individuals, I have to use IRS.gov to schedule payments.
Actually, it indicated that I was "Successful". I guess until you're on Medicare you don't have an account yet.
What does it say about people that have no cell? I certainly know many of older ages that do not .
You can use direct pay with no id requirements. They ask some vertfication is all.
I read on another site that a person was told it won't be enforced they are just trying to get people to move. I find this hard to believe but you could possibly call for additional info
I do also view transcripts, so I access my irs.gov account.
If you haven’t used id.me on Medicare then if you select id.me as the login method Medicare sends you to the id.me site to login. After a successful login, id.me asks if it can share your personal info with Medicare, say yes and you will be transferred back to a logged in Medicare.
I think that the photo ID is just needed to establish the original ID Me account. I had to do a short video confrence to show my ID. DW had to take hers to the PO in person.
Yeah, I'm assuming we'll wake up some cheery morning and find out that id.me has been hacked and yet another batch of millions of citizens' data has been appropriated for ID Theft purposes. (Any bets against that)?
They warn to have separate account IDs and passwords per account but then go to this,,,
Two kinds of cyber data. What's been hacked and what will be.
No but I think ID.me is public company. The gov already knows me. ID.me doesn't.
The govt has been hacked for sensitive information before, so I don’t see any difference.
I have been having a similar issue with Login.Gov as I use it for VA Healthcare, Global Entry and a few other programs. I tried setting it up for the new SS login requirements but could not get past the phone number phase even though I have had the same land line for over 30 years and cell number for over 10 years. I finally gave up as I didn't feel the urge to go to the local post office to verify my identity. I use my ID.ME account for SS which fortunately worked without issue. We'll see how the Medicare login goes at some point.
No of course not but I limit the number of people I give out new information to. Since I'm not on Medicare it makes no difference to me at this point. By then they will have something else to do. I do feel for people who are unable to complete the requirements.
Login.gov won't sort this out - see the original post. They respond with - try one of the other options. OK, so I picked CLEAR. Much easier process - however, I mis-typed my SSN and there is no way I can edit it. Contact Member Service because it's an updated needed on their side. And I get the answer this morning. You're all set up - if there's a problem its on the Medicare side. So I'm 0 for 2.
I also got stuck in that loop, home phone is VOIP, and my cell phone is through a re-seller (Ting Mobile). You'd think they would tell you those won't work (they might have mentioned VOIP, I don't recall), but after some searches I didn't find much, tried AI, and it warned me about the mobile re-seller problem (apparently, they look through public records, which only include the direct big players like Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc). Super weird that they text to the same phone that they say they can't verify. Arggghhhh!
