That is awesome! Seems like it will help a lot of old people who have the most risk both from covid and scam calls. If your social security number and taxes are going to be online, definitely need some kind of additional security beyond the usual signup process. If it requires a live video feed that should make it quite a bit harder for scammers.
- novok 5y agoI tried id.me and it was a pain in the ass to use and failed on one part. I'm guessing with their anti-fraud style fail closed system this will effectively lock out a lot of old people from using their online services.
- kats 5y agoIt's hard to have additional security and still have things work for everyone. But it's a numbers game. Covid is over 100x more deadly for people over 75 versus below age 35. Anything that keeps old people out of crowded Social Security buildings is a good thing. And it will block a lot of scams as well.

Won't adding these complicated and buggy requirements to the online site make it more likely elderly people need to go into a physical office?
