Pennsylvania's REAL ID program recertified by U.S. Department of Homeland Security
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — Pennsylvanians looking to fly domestically or access secure federal buildings can continue to use REAL ID thanks to a fresh stamp of federal approval. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced Wednesday, June 11, that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration has recertified the commonwealth's REAL ID program as fully compliant with the federal REAL ID Act of 2005. The certification means PennDOT can continue to issue REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses and photo identification cards. These IDs are required to board domestic flights or enter certain federal facilities and military bases. Federal law requires states to be recertified every three years to maintain compliance. REAL ID has been an optional service in Pennsylvania since its rollout, and PennDOT continues to offer it to residents who want federally recognized identification. The recertification confirms that PennDOT's systems and practices meet the rigorous security standards required under federal law. To get a REAL ID, residents must provide documents verifying their identity, Social Security number, Pennsylvania residency, and any legal name changes. A full list of accepted documents and application steps is available at There is a one-time $30 fee to obtain a REAL ID, in addition to the standard renewal cost. Once issued, future renewals of the ID do not include additional REAL ID-related fees. PennDOT offers two options for applying: residents can visit one of 15 REAL ID Centers for same-day issuance or apply at a driver license center to receive their ID by mail within 15 days. Residents who received their first Pennsylvania license or ID after Sept. 1, 2003, may already have the necessary documentation on file and can apply online for pre-verification.

PA Attorney General joins lawsuit to stop 23andMe's sale of customer data
PENNSYLVANIA (WTAJ) — Following the filing of bankruptcy by 23andMe and their intent to potentially sell consumer data, PA Attorney General Dave Sunday announced on Wednesday, June 11, his office is joining a bipartisan group of 28 Attorney Generals from across the country to file a lawsuit to block the sale. 23andMe, a popular DNA testing company, filed for bankruptcy in March 2025 and is now looking to sell off its assets by auction. Those assets would include sensitive genetic and health data of its customers. 'The millions of consumers — including many Pennsylvanians — who paid for these services certainly did not expect their sensitive data to one day be sold off to a highest bidder,' Attorney General Sunday said. '23andMe is trying to avoid their legal obligations to consumers simply by labeling this sale and transfer of consumer data as a 'change of ownership.' I continue to encourage 23andMe customers to consider deleting their data from the company's database.' The lawsuit, filed in federal bankruptcy court on June 9, objects to the bankruptcy sale of the personal information that 23andMe collected and aims to stop the auctioning of it to the highest bidder. The argument is that this kind of information, such as biological samples, DNA data, and medical records, is too sensitive to be sold without every customer's consent and could potentially be used in ways that they were never informed of when they initially signed up for 23andMe. Pennsylvania joins attorneys general from states like Arizona, Florida, New York, and West Virginia in the lawsuit. Impacted consumers have until July 14, 2025, to file a proof of claim electronically and can submit a complaint to the Bureau of Consumer Protection or call the hotline at (800) 441-2555.

How hourly workers are making ends meet as they live paycheck to paycheck
Four in 10 hourly workers say that living paycheck to paycheck would be an upgrade from their current financial situation, according to a new study. The survey of 2,000 American workers who get paid on an hourly basis, with a quota for 1,000 Gen Z workers and 1,000 retail workers, found that 39% would see living from paycheck to paycheck as an improvement in their finances.
