"The Office of Unemployment Insurance has discovered an increase in the number of imposter UI claim attempts. As our office continues to work closely with the Commonwealth Office of Technology to protect the UI system against fraudulent claims, we are asking employers and individuals to take precautions and assist our efforts to ensure you are protected.
For Employers: Employers play a critical role in the early identification of attempts to defraud the unemployment insurance system. Your prompt response to notice of claims is necessary to ensure that payments are not disbursed in error, and that claimant information is protected. If your business receives notice that an unemployment insurance claim has been filed, please respond to the notice immediately. If you suspect a claim has been filed in error, please promptly contact our office at (502) 564-2387.
For Individuals and Claimants: If you suspect your identity has been stolen and a fraudulent claim was filed in your name, you should contact us immediately at (502) 564-2387. In addition, victims can report instances of identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission. To do this, you can fill out a report online or call 877-438-4338. Additionally, you are encouraged to contact local law enforcement. When working with law enforcement, bring a copy of your FTC Identity Theft Report, a government-issued photo ID, proof of your current address, and any proof that your identity has been used for identity theft — such as collections notices. You can also file an online complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
