First of all if you live overseas and let's just say the country I live in overseas you cannot get a credit card that easily. So if you don't have a credit card as a veteran I cannot access my VA account or for me the veterans administration account any health report or whatever that I'm concerned with.

They say it's for some reason that it's more they call it a soft background check can you imagine that soft s o f t background check.
I'll see if I can post a link to it but that's basically what's happening now in the veterans administration.

Your link just goes to the Military Times homepage, I don't see a story for this.

I'm a retired Vet, I just logged into my VA account and did not need to provide a credit card.

Maybe it's because you're overseas?

I'll update this post if something changes, but I'm not seeing this right now.

Okay I did a screenshot and I mailed it to myself hoping that I could copy and paste it but that didn't work but believe me if you have military times it came out in today's well in my email this morning with the list of what's happening on the veterans landscape and it's the second or third list down so yeah it's it's something new actually and it really caught me off guard that's for sure.

So I don't know how to screenshot it then put it on here what I'm talking about obviously one of the posterior said it doesn't show up on the military times it doesn't that I've checked three times went down through everything but it is on the military times and it's April 13th as a matter of fact I'm going to go back to it and get the author's name and maybe you guys can follow follow up on that maybe that will help yeah I'm going to try that okay because I'm not trying to BS you guys at all.

Anyway I'm going to write down the author's name and it was an April 13th that it was published okay that might help follow up on it also.

Are you certain that it really came from the Military Times? This sounds like some kind of scam. The VA has no such requirements for having to use a credit card to log on.

So they are relying on commercial credit/finance as a part of their 'user verification' now?

That sounds very objectionable to me.

Used to be that the financial institutions used the federal agencies as 'verification'.... I wonder if that's how that works now?

I swear the VA is not in anyway even remotely close to an ally to most veterans.

But if I start going into who DOES get veteran's benefits galore and support-for-the-asking, some people will get very angry. Too many who deserve get nothing... and some who don't, get it all. It's almost "systemic."

Either because he is overseas or it is a scam.

The VA has never asked me for a credit card. I access my account regularly without it.

Now years ago when I first set up my account, I did have to go to one of the offices in the building to get my outside of the VA computer access, I just proved I was who I said I was.

What does a credit card have to do with your ID?

I would not give it to them. Sounds shaky.

Okay, this makes more sense now. It's TriCare related.

I don't have dependants, and don't use TriCare.

From your link:



Schwegman said that those who object to the credit check can use a Common Access Card to obtain a DS Logon or, if they don't have a CAC, can go to a DoD ID card facility and get their identity verified in person.

"Use of the remote identity proofing service is not a requirement for DS Logon issuance, but for some it is the most convenient option available," Schwegman said.


I'm sure not every veteran has good enough credit to qualify for a card, so I don't think they'll be able to get away with discriminating like that.

Getting a DOD ID is a pain in the butt even if you're active duty.

You need 2 valid forms of ID. If your previous ID is expired, it doesn't count. Even if you're active duty.

It can get very frustrating, very quickly.

You can call the US embassy in Tokyo or one of the consulates to make an appointment for services or consultation about federal benefits.

Note the article starts with a veteran trying to access her basic records from her base in Virginia, USA suddenly being denied until she provides a frakkin' credit card for identification.


According to Navy Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman, a DoD spokeswoman, users who apply for a DS Logon remotely must have their identity authenticated. The soft credit check is one way to verify the user, she said. "The [Remote Identity Proofing] service is provided by a 3rdparty vendor and uses a variety of techniques to verify an individual's identity which involves data obtained through a soft credit check," Schwegman said in an email to Military.com. "These 'soft credit checks' do not impact a person's credit score."

She added that DS Logon has performed soft credit checks on individuals for more than eight years, although she admitted that neither she nor any of the military personnel in her office were aware of the requirement until asked about it by Military.com.

Users may just be noticing the new requirement as the Defense Department adopts the new Oracle Cerner MHS Genesis electronic health record system department-wide. When patients apply to access the new program, they are asked to provide a photo of their driver's license or another approved identification card, and a credit card or a loan document to verify their ID. Schwegman said that those who object to the credit check can use a Common Access Card to obtain a DS Logon or, if they don't have a CAC, can go to a DoD ID card facility and get their identity verified in person.


I'm absolutely biased on these things, so, yeah; it's just our common enemy, the synagogue of Satan having their death throes and flipping all the switches on their death machines because megalomania is paranoia.

They have the technocracy tagging dissidents and potentials in all sorts of ways. Also, the "Restrict Act" is part of the process. Note new laws targeting people for things they did years ago, now suddenly criminalized.

What a cowardly and superstitious lot. Hardy har.
