only look at Social Security once a year or so.

It's so you can access any federal department which requires a login with just one username and password. There was a DU post on it when it came out - I' thinking last summer sometime but I confess I didn't do a search. But at the time I set mine up.

It's not a brainchild of the Trump**(*) regime ,and its purpose is to make things easier for all of us. That doesn't of course, mean that the regime cant screw it up, and that's on them, but that was never the point.
