Veterans now have additional time to move to a new online login system that lets them access information about their Department of Veterans Affairs health care and benefits more quickly and securely.
VA is extending the final deadline by which veterans and beneficiaries can log in to VA.gov, VA mobile applications and other VA online services using their My HealtheVet username and password to March 4, 2025. The deadline to switch from DS Logon to ID.me or Login.gov remains Sept. 30, 2025.
VA announced a phase-out of MyHealtheVet and DS Logon sign-in options, last July in favor of two new options, Login.gov and ID.me. VA said the move would help it offer stronger protections for veterans, families and caregivers.
According to VA, most of its beneficiaries are already using Login.gov and ID.me to access My HealtheVet and other VA digital services. The additional time will ensure as many veterans and beneficiaries as possible make the switch before the old My HealtheVet username and password system is retired on March 4.
VA is also increasing outreach to veterans who have yet to make the switch and will provide in-person assistance at VA Medical Centers nationally.
