While your HR department continues to partner with the Department of Labor on employee unemployment claims, we have received reports of fraudulent unemployment claims being filed in the name of some of our employees. We confirmed with DOL in June of 2020 that personal information was not obtained from Boise State University records, but from another outside source.
Not all employees have had a fraudulent claim made in their name. The DOL will notify you if a false claim has been filed in your name with a letter entitled “Monetary Review – Wage Determination” or you will receive a letter requesting additional information about your claim filed. This letter will state that you recently filed for unemployment insurance benefits. If you receive one of these letters and have not applied for unemployment compensation please do the following immediately:
- Email our office at Payroll@boisestate.edu,
- Call the Department of Labor’s Compliance/Discovery Department at 208-332-3576
- Email to fraud@labor.idaho.gov
Please inform each contact you did not file for unemployment. This will start the process of stopping any claims processing. The Idaho Department of Labor will give you any further instructions you will need. You can learn more about reporting unemployment fraud on the DOL website.
