Unemployment Fraud

By Terry Savage on January 18, 2021 | Wild Card

Yesterday, I was advised by my employer that someone tried to file an unemployment claim under my name, and the HR department is disputing it. I filled out the information identitytheft.gov (FTC), set up a fraud alert, and put a credit freeze with the three credit bureaus.

In trying to notify IDES, their automated system requires that you leave your phone number for a return call. I have not heard back. Is there any other way for me to notify IDES?

Is there anything else I should be doing?
