Is someone else filing unemployment in your name? | News, Sports, Jobs

acerbone@adirondackdailyenterprise.com A fraudulent unemployment insurance claim may appear legitimate, as this one does, with all the accurate information for the state Department of Labor, but it may have been filed by a scammer who obtained personal information through a data breach. (Photo provided) A woman from Saranac Lake received a letter from the state Department of Labor telling her she had unemployment insurance money to collect and then another and another. All of them looked very official. The woman, whom the Enterprise is not naming to protect her from retribution, said the phone numbers, postage and the Key Bank debit card she got all seemed legitimate. But the letters inside telling her she had unemployment insurance to collect did not make any sense. She’s retired.

Is someone else filing unemployment in your name?

Adirondack Daily Enterprise A woman from Saranac Lake received a letter from the state Department of Labor telling her she had unemployment insurance money to collect and then another and another. All of them looked very official. The woman, whom the Enterprise is not naming to protect her from retribution, said the phone numbers, postage and Key Bank debit card she got all seemed legitimate. But the letters inside telling her she had unemployment insurance to collect did not make any sense. She’s retired. “I thought, ‘Maybe New York state is really losing it, ” she said. The letters were persistent, and some required more personal information, like her full Social Security number. She was “panicked” and worried how fraudsters got her information.

North country law enforcement officials respond to marijuana legalization

ALBANY â Recreational marijuana sales and use for adults 21 years of age and older is legal … WATERTOWN â They might not be opposed to medical marijuana, but many law enforcement officials in the north country are against the full legalization that occurred Wednesday, saying itâs an excuse for revenue, difficult to enforce and further advancing for illegal dealers. Jefferson County Sheriff Colleen M. OâNeill said the day had been coming for years: when the state government would legalize recreational marijuana for adults. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed the legislation into law Wednesday morning. The state Legislature debated into the late evening hours Tuesday, but the measure, the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, ultimately passed in both legislative chambers on Tuesday.

Law enforcement and the state Department of Labor continue to investigate growing numbers of fraudulent unemployment claims as thousands returned to work this winter, officials said.
