We are dealing with this as I write. Mrs. L got three letters from the IDES yesterday. One confirmed a Change of Address request, one confirmed an application for unemployment benefits, and the third denied that application on grounds of fraud.
To be fair IDES called us back in less than an hour and completely wiped her “account” with them. I thoroughly documented all of the interactions with everyone we spoke to, just in case.
Now on to locking down everything else because apparently they have her SSN, our current address, her birthday, and her current employer.
So on top of dealing with the COVID we’ve had for the last two weeks, the Almighty decided we needed this, too.
I’m starting to hate 2021 even more than I did 2020.

Horrible. 🙁
I’ve often wondered if Lifelock was reliable for protection.
Scary thing is most state UI systems are using ID.me as the sole verifiable proof of who you are.
More strict than e-verify (passport plus drivers license plus birth certificate plus proof of billing in most cases)
Good until they get hacked.
