Beginning August 28th, 2025, the EHBs will start a grace period for identity verification. All external users, including Applicants and Grantees, should complete a verification through Login.gov or ID.me before it becomes mandatory on January 1st, 2026.
Identity verification is a secure, one-time process that takes about 5-8 minutes. Users complete the process online or in-person through Login.gov or ID.me by providing a government-issued photo ID, a selfie, and SSN.
New Option: In addition to Login.gov, users can now access the EHBs using ID.me, which accepts U.S. passports for those without a state-issued photo ID or license.
Get Started
Complete the identity verification process using a state-issued Driver’s License or State ID through Login.gov: https://xms.hhs.gov/ABaaS/sp?ExtIDPEntityID=LoginGovLOA3
If you do not have a state-issued Driver’s License or State ID but do have a U.S. Passport, complete the identity verification process through ID.me: https://xms.hhs.gov/ABaaS/sp?ExtIDPEntityID=ID.ME.3
