This will bring you to the following screen.

The first time you use the system, you’ll have to “First Time User Register Here” (see above).

The next screen will look like this.

  • Enter your first name and last name.
  • Next, enter your social security number in this format: XXX-XX-XXXX. For your security, the numbers and hyphens will show up as dots (see below). It is important that you enter the dashes between the numbers.
  • Next, enter your birthdate in this format: MM/DD/YYYY.
  • Finally, pick a security question and give a security answer.

If you make a mistake click “reset” to start over, otherwise click “save”.
