Are You Ready for VA’s Sign-In Changes?
Don’t delay. Create your sign-in account today.
By now you may have heard that VA is making changes to our online sign-in process. We’re moving to 2 modern, secure sign-in account options, Login.gov and ID.me.
If you don’t have a Login.gov or ID.me account yet, don’t delay. These changes are happening soon. We’re removing the My HealtheVet sign-in option after March 4, 2025, and the DS Logon option after September 30, 2025.

If you already have a Login.gov or ID.me account but haven’t yet used it, start now so you’re ready.
Note: Don’t worry. My HealtheVet isn't going away. You’ll still be able to use your My HealtheVet health portal—you’ll just need to sign in to it with an identity-verified Login.gov or ID.me account. And you can get your new account anytime. You’ll still have access to all the same information and services you use today.

Why do I need to verify my identity?
Identity verification is a one-time process that helps us make sure that the person creating your account is really you—and not someone pretending to be you. During this process, the account provider (Login.gov or ID.me) will ask you to provide certain personal information and identification (ID).

Once you setup a Login.gov or ID.me account, you’ll be able to use it to sign in to My HealtheVet. You’ll also be able to use it to sign in to any other VA website or mobile app. With your modern sign-in account, you can continue to manage your VA benefits and health care, while keeping your information and benefits secure.
