The occurrence of Unemployment Identity Fraud is increasing rapidly . This type of fraud involves the use of someone else’s personal information by criminals to unlawfully receive unemployment benefits. This fraudulent activity is often referred to as “Claim Hijacking” or “Claim/Account Takeover,” where the fraudsters use stolen information to log into the victim’s unemployment account and steal their rightful benefits. Individuals who are victims of unemployment identity fraud may only become aware of the situation when they receive unexpected mail, such as a notice from a state unemployment agency or a state-issued 1099-G tax form, which reports unemployment benefits that they never requested or received. In some cases, those who have filed for unemployment benefits may realize that they have fallen victim to “Claim Hijacking” or “Claim/Account Takeover” when they suddenly stop receiving their payments, and they notice that the bank account or address information on their unemployment claim has been altered without their consent.

The determination of whether an ALE may be liable for an ESRP and the amount of the proposed ESRP in Letter 226-J are based on information from Forms 1094-C and 1095-C filed by the ALE and the individual income tax returns filed by the ALEs employees.

Unemployment insurance provides financial assistance to individuals who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.

It is the responsibility of the employer to inform the state whether or not an unemployment insurance claim is warranted.

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 was introduced almost four decades ago. However, many employers still face challenges in avoiding Form I-9 compliance violations and fail to understand the potential impact on their businesses.
