Need Guidance..help Here Please!

Did they assign your broker ID number in that email or cell number? No not cell phone number.

These are the instructions I followed and I completed step 2. and stopped.

Part II. Create a User Account and complete identity verification through the CMS Enterprise Portal.
(Required only for agents and brokers who wish to enroll individuals in a Federally-facilitated Individual Marketplace.)

Step 1. Go to the CMS Enterprise Portal at https://portal.cms.gov/ and select "New User Registration." Note: To allow time for your training results from the MLN site to be transmitted to the CMS Enterprise Portal, you must generally wait at least two business days after completing your registration, training and exams, and Marketplace agreement(s) on the MLN website. During the initial 2013 launch of the agent/broker registration process, the transmission of training results may sometimes take longer than two business days.

Step 2. As a result of selected "New User Registration", the CMS Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) system on the CMS Enterprise Portal will prompt you to agree to the EIDM terms and conditions, and then enter basic identifying information. Be sure to enter your legal name rather than a nickname.

Step 3. The EIDM system will prompt you to create a Federally-facilitated Marketplace user account (your FFM user ID, password, and challenge questions).
Agents and brokers operating in the Individual Marketplace will use this ID to enroll individuals in the FFM.
The challenge questions may be used later to retrieve your password or make profile updates.
Note that this FFM user ID will not be fully activated until all steps below are completed.
Step 4. After the completion of Step 3, the EIDM system will acknowledge the creation of the account and redirect you to the CMS Enterprise Portal home page for you to log back in with your new FFM user ID and password.

Step 5: On the CMS Enterprise Portal home page, select "login to CMS Secure Portal" and log in with the FFM user ID and password you created in Step 3. This returns you to the EIDM system.

Step 6: Select "Request Access Now". On the "My Access" page, select "Request New Application Access".

UPDATE:

I called the helpdesk he said I'm ok (not going to jail blue & tater) if anything I might have to complete a couple more steps when the system is up and running. He can't pull anything up but referred me to these websites.

So it's 42 days out and the incomplete training application needed for 3 dozen states no longer functions at all. Navigator training has been slashed as has all security checks (and hasn't begun yet). Multiple states have scaled back their capabilities, even after stating just weeks ago they were good to go for Oct. 1.

Train wrecks are like car crashes, but take a whole lot longer to happen. Right about now, cars are buckling together and starting to come off the tracks. Another 4-5 weeks and we should have a flaming pile of tangled cars at the bottom of a ravine.
 
boys... relax... it aint up yet... from our training site the following mesg sits:

**FFM Registration Status Update for Agents/Brokers**

You recently established an account on our website, to complete the agent/broker training for the Federally-facilitated Marketplaces (FFM). As you know, completing the training and agreement(s) is the first part of the two-part registration process for agents and brokers in the FFMs.



At this time, we are reminding all agents/brokers that the second part of the FFM registration process is not yet available.
 
I'm trying to set up an user account as well
Does anyone know what they are looking for when they ask organization type ? It is the next question after they ask for your NPR #.
 
Crap, I just went into register for 2nd part and a big red screen starting flashing and said "If this is houcooster again we're going to take you computer away" and you will be banished to Nuevo Laredo"

The smart thing to do and of course we all know the govt ain't the smartest, was to have training and verifying who you were all in one.
