West Virginia issues fraud warning after mailing unemployment tax forms

CHARLESTON — Some people are just finding out now that they may be identity theft victims after WorkForce West Virginia announced it has begun mailing out tax forms to those who received unemployment benefits last year. The agency issued an ID theft warning Feb. 1 after mailing 1099-Gs to nearly 200,000 individuals who received regular state unemployment benefits, pandemic unemployment assistance (PUA), pandemic emergency unemployment compensation (PEUC), federal pandemic unemployment compensation (FPUC), extended benefits (EB) and lost wage assistance (LWA). “It’s unfortunate, but unemployment fraud has been prevalent across the country during the pandemic and fraudsters are out there claiming benefits by using stolen identities,” said WorkForce West Virginia Acting Commissioner Scott Adkins.

Audit finds West Virginia could be missing $820K to $1 1M in income tax revenue

The state agency responsible for helping West Virginians find jobs and collect unemployment benefits is in an employment crunch of its own, according to a legislative audit. In a yearlong examination of WorkForce West Virginia, legislative auditors found that employee misclassification was “rampant,” leading to a loss of $824,000 to $1.1 million in personal income tax revenue from 2014 to 2018. During each of those years, the U.S. Department of Labor gave West Virginia a “fail” rating for its efforts in detecting employee misclassification. This refers to whether a worker is classified as an employee, with employers withholding taxes, or an independent contractor, who is responsible for their own taxes.
