** New Login.gov instructions**

eVoucher will be updated to version 6.10 on 05/11/2024. This update includes a new way to sign in using Login.gov with multi-factor authentication. Moving to Login.gov is essential for security and identity verification as the next eVoucher release, version 6.11, will set up electronic payments. eVoucher version 6.11 is scheduled to be released later this year and more information will be forthcoming.

To verify your identity in Login.gov, you must provide:
State-issued ID (front and back)
Social Security Number
Phone number
Email Address

The very first time you sign in to eVoucher, you will also need your existing eVoucher email address and eVoucher password to connect Login.gov with your eVoucher account. Once that connection is made, you will sign in with Login.gov credentials and multi-factor authentication. We highly recommend setting up more than one authentication method for Login.gov.

New training materials are available:
