I’m sorry to hear that someone has filed a fraudulent claim using your name. Unemployment fraud is a serious issue, and it’s important that you take steps to stop it immediately.
Here are some steps you can take to report the fraud:
Contact your state’s unemployment office: Look up the phone number for your state’s unemployment office and call them to report the fraud. Explain that someone has filed a fraudulent claim using your name and ask what steps you need to take to resolve the issue.
Report the fraud to the police: File a police report with your local police department. This will provide documentation of the fraud and may be helpful in resolving the issue.
Notify the Federal Trade Commission (FTC): You can report unemployment fraud to the FTC by calling 1-877-438-4338 or by visiting their website at http://www.ftc.gov.
Take steps to protect your personal information: Consider freezing your credit and monitoring your financial accounts for any suspicious activity.
I hope these steps are helpful in resolving the issue of the fraudulent claim filed in your name.
I don’t have access to personal information or the ability to print or email 1099G forms.
You can check the status of your 1099G form with your state’s unemployment office. They should be able to provide information on when it was mailed, why you haven’t received it yet, and what steps you can take to obtain a copy.
You can typically find contact information for your state’s unemployment office by searching online for “unemployment office” and your state’s name. If you’re unable to find the information you need online, you can also try calling your state’s unemployment office for assistance.
If you still haven’t received your 1099G after following up with the unemployment office, you may need to request a copy directly from the agency responsible for issuing the form.
