ID.me works with state agencies so you can verify your identity to access your benefits and services. For example, after verifying, you may apply for unemployment benefits or sign in to state government portals. 

Our role in these partnerships is limited to identity verification. We don’t approve unemployment insurance claims, distribute payments to claimants, or grant access to government services. For questions about how to file a claim or benefits you may be entitled to, contact your state's workforce agency.

To learn more about the identity verification process for states, and to find if we work with your state, visit Verifying your identity with Self-Service.
