Va begins transition to sign-in experience for veterans | va cincinnati health care | veterans affairs

Cincinnati , OH — VA announced the start of our transition to a simpler and more modern online sign-in experience for Veterans and other beneficiaries who access VA online services. In 2025,

VA will transition from four online sign-in account options (Login.gov, ID.me, My HealtheVet, and DS Logon) to two sign-in account options: LOGIN.GOV and ID.ME accounts. Veterans will be

able to use either of these two options to sign in to VA.gov, VA mobile applications, or other VA online services. Veterans and other beneficiaries will no longer be able to use usernames

and passwords for My HealtheVet after Jan. 31, 2025, or DS Logon after Sept. 30, 2025. After these deadlines, Veterans who have not yet transitioned will still be able to access their data

and resume managing their benefits and services online once they have created their new account. This transition helps us meet Veterans’ requests for a simpler sign-in experience while

continuing to improve our security standards, comply with federal policies, and ensure Veteran data and identity protection.  We know this transition will be difficult for some Veterans. The

Office of Information and Technology (OIT) is committed to providing consistent outreach and support. Training and resources will be provided to help VA staff and Veterans Service

Organizations support Veterans in selecting the account and multifactor authentication option that best suits their needs and preferences. OIT is dedicated to making sure that all Veterans,

including those using assistive devices (like screen readers), have the support they need to successfully make this transition.  WANT TO SHARE THE LATEST INFORMATION ABOUT THIS TRANSITION
