I have tried several times to verify the RCS app, Everytime it starts I get a verification code from Google, but no place to enter and the process seems to just timeout. Anyone see this and know of a solution?

Who's your carrier?
And have you tried these troubleshooting steps?

Thx for the reply!
Verizon is the carrier, I tried all those support page steps that are applicable. Still not working.
Could this be Verizon specific?

Nope, this shouldn't be a Verizon issue. IIRC, Verizon currently only directly supports RCS on the Pixel 3; all other devices will be supported through Google's solution that they rolled out last week.
Just to be sure, you're receiving the verification text messages inside the Messages app?

Does the Chat features Status indicate "waiting for verification" or something to that effect?

Doesn't matter, Google gave up waiting on them to get their stuff together and is providing RCS via Messages on all carriers in the US:

Interesting. I kind of hate to send you away, but you might want to post to the dedicated Messages support community to see if the experts there might be better able to assist you:

Please do report back if they're able to help!

I was able to fix the stuck issue with that support page, but now it says Carrier does not support chat. Is there a known Verizon issue with RCS?

Thx all for your replies, it is Verizon. They only supposed Galaxy at the moment on RCS.

I've had it since December on my Pixel 3 on Verizon, and that is using Verizon's RCS server.
Google's recent announcement is that they are bypassing the carriers and providing RCS directly (from Google's RCS server). It should work with any phone on any carrier as long as you're in the US and using Google's Messages app. Verizon doesn't get a say in it.
The "your carrier doesn't support this" message just indicates that your device hasn't yet been provisioned for access to Google's server - operative word being yet.
It should be available for you soon. Don't give up!

Yeah I keep checking Google Messages on my phone and I get the same message.
I have RCS in my stock texting app but I use Google Messages/Web function at work so it would be nice to not have to switch texting apps all the time
