User reviews

Easy Breezy

This app makes submitting documents to the state a breeze. Before I used to make multiple trips to the office anytime I needed to complete recertification. Now I rarely ever have to go in person. I really love this app!

No room for notes

The paperwork I submitted is for the Medicaid paying the Medicare Insurance. There is no option for this, the only option is to check off “I don’t know” but no place to add this program .

Connectivity

The rate that the documents submit take an extended amount of time.

Great way to provide information needed

Such a easier way to communicate and provide the information needed. Especially when a single mother and doesn’t have time to even take care of myself! Thank you!

Works great once you can actually get logged in

Spent hours of my free time trying to get things coordinated between the app and NYGov ID.

Finally got to work by restarting my phone and manually putting in my ID and password.

Prior to that I had to reset my password several times trying to get it to work.
