Helping Veterans Access Benefits Earned Through Service

For those who answer the call to serve, access to benefits should be simple. But until 2016, veterans had to navigate a maze of more than 500 websites to manage their benefits or access their service records.

Now in partnership with ID.me, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) website, VA.gov, offers a single, cohesive portal that provides access to benefits while meeting the federal government’s most rigorous security standards.

”As a veteran myself, I had eight different logins to the VA depending on if I was checking my healthcare, my benefits, my GI bill, my home loan application, or pharmacy … it was an incredible pain point.

Scott BlackburnFormer Chief Technology Officer, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

”The VA partnered with ID.me to ensure the security of the benefits and services available to veterans on VA.gov. The customization, robust reporting, and supporting materials provided by ID.me are unparalleled.

”I needed something that would work for veterans that were unhoused, or that maybe didn't have a credit history … we ultimately selected ID.me so that veterans could go to one place, get all the information they needed and manage and access all their benefits.
