Do not use spaces or dashes in the SSN, Customer ID or PIN.

Test the number keys in a text document to make sure that they are functioning properly.

Error message describing a problem with Certificates.
An error message of this nature may be the result of the incorrect date on your system.
Check that the date and time are correct on your system (usually found in the lower right corner of your desktop).
If you find that you do need to adjust the time or date, you can normally change it by right-clicking on the display (with the button on the right side of your mouse) and then selecting 'Adjust Date/Time.'
If the date is correct, check the browser version:
At the top of your Internet Explorer browser, select "Help" and "About Internet Explorer". NetBenefits is compatible with Internet Explorer versions 4.01 and higher. If you have a lower version, you need to download a compatible Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
If the browser is already compatible, you need to ensure that the security certificates are enabled on your browser. To do this:
On the top of your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, click on the word "View" and "Internet Options." Next, select "Content" and then click "Authorities."
Scroll all the way to the right and verify that the last three "VeriSign" boxes listed are marked. There should be one with Commercial CA and two with Secure Server CA. If there is no listing of security certificates, then we recommend that you upgrade your browser.
