Above video: California lawmaker responds to report of billions in unemployment fraudHere’s a heads-up for potential fraud victims this tax season: If you get a 1099-G form in the mail but you never applied for unemployment benefits, someone else may have done so in your name.Here are the next steps you should take, WBBM-TV reported. The TV station talked to an expert and asked how the state is preparing to handle such a situation.Since March 1, the Illinois Department of Employment Security has stopped 962,000 fraudulent unemployment claims, according to the agency’s spokeswoman.What they don’t know is how many 1099-G tax forms are about to go out to people who never applied for unemployment benefits.It’s the issue behind a brand-new message just added to the IDES hotline: “If you have received a 1099-G in error press 1. If you have questions about your 1099-G, press 2.”A 1099-G form needs to be filled out when filing taxes if you’ve gotten money from IDES. But if you haven’t, and you get one in the mail, you could be a victim of unemployment fraud.If you do find yourself in that situation, the first step is to report the fraud.IDES also recommends placing alerts with the major credit bureaus.But an outstanding concern is that with address change forms tied to fraudsters also going out right now, what happens if the IRS gets a 1099-G in your name, but you don’t?“And so when they’re waiting for their tax refund, they’ll get this notice from the IRS that they have unclaimed income attached to their name that they’ll then have to clear,” said Michele Evermore, of the National Employment Law Project. IDES spokeswoman Rebecca Cisco said 1099-G forms have not yet been distributed, and when they are, the department will provide more information.The IDES also provided an information sheet on 1099-G forms.
