Report Unemployment Identity Theft

Use this form for all suspected unemployment identity theft. If you have received a Reliacard debit card or other correspondence from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE), but you have not filed an unemployment claim, please report it to us via this form. Use this same form if you have received any correspondence to your mailing address that was sent to someone else other than those in your household.

(The exception would be if you have received a 1099 form in your name, and you either did not file for unemployment benefits, or the amount of benefits received on the 1099 form is inaccurate. If that is the case, please report those 1099 tax form issues here.)

To ensure a successful and thorough investigation, you should provide as much detail as possible about the alleged identity theft when completing this form.

Please note that this form is specifically for Colorado state UI claims. If someone has stolen your identity and used it to file an unemployment claim in a different state, you must report it to that state's unemployment division.

Enter your primary contact information here, including a current email address where you can be reached. We may contact you for a follow-up if necessary. Please understand that while it is important to keep your information confidential, we may be required to share your information with law enforcement if a criminal investigation begins.
