Beginning in April 2024, Iowans who file for preexisting or future unemployment claims will be required to use ID.me, according to a press release.

ID.me is a digital identity verification service that provides "secure identity proofing, authentication, and group affiliation verification." It is used by several federal agencies, such as the Internal Revenue Service, to ensure individuals accessing services online are who they say they are. The service has already been launched in a pilot phase by Iowa Workforce Development.
