Unemployment fraud: No method to check whether your information was compromised in Ohio
Want to know if your name or information was used to file a fraudulent unemployment compensation claim in Ohio?
There is no state-issued list of individuals who might be victims of identify fraud, Ohio Job and Family Services Director Kimberly Henderson said Wednesday.
Henderson is urging people to watch for tax forms or other notices for benefits they never applied for or claimed as well as getting a credit report and consulting other identity fraud resources.
"Unless there is a strong indication through a correspondence, 1099 form, etc., we would not encourage calling our (toll-free help) line," Henderson told reporters Wednesday. "We’re working hard to address those who have evidence they’re the victim of identity theft."
