It's hard to keep up these days, information coming from all 360 degrees. Don't quote me on this but it's my understanding that DOGE says the current phone identity process is where $100 million in fraud originates. A lot of your personal information is public information so the common crook can easily fraud the most powerful government in the world. Makes sense to make a few changes.
The wife just recently called her PERS pension plan to gain online access. They asked the address of her x husband from over 20 years ago. We had a good laugh with the guy on the phone asking the questions, apparently the X lives in Missouri. Your personal information is out there!
