DETR Nevada: Received employment verification letter for unknown person - Identity theft concern

So I got this weird letter in the mail asking me to verify employment for someone I don't even know. It's got my address but a different name on it. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm worried about identity theft or something. What should I do when I call the unemployment office? I wanna make sure they have my correct info and employers listed.

Here's a comprehensive breakdown: First, don't panic. It's crucial to confirm whether there’s any unauthorized use of your personal information. Start by double-checking any online unemployment accounts you have. Obtain a copy of your credit report from all three major bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—to ensure there's no unusual activity. When calling the unemployment office, have all your documentation ready, including the letter, personal ID details, and your employment history. Request to speak with a tier 2 specialist, as they have greater authority to address these issues. Confirm that they correct your information in their system. Always ask for a reference number for the call. Using Claimyr's service can be efficient—such services can save time by managing the hold process, allowing you to be productive while waiting. However, weigh the cost versus benefit in your situation. If you suspect identity theft, also consider placing a fraud alert on your credit file. While Claimyr provides a useful service, you should always be cautious with third-party tools and verify their credibility before use. Good luck, and remain persistent!

I had something similar happen to me last year. It's a pain in the butt to deal with, but don't panic. Here's what you should do: 1. Gather all your employment records and the letter you received. 2. When you call, explain clearly that you got a letter for someone else's employment verification. 3. Confirm your own identity and make it clear you don't know the person mentioned. 4. Provide your actual employment history to update their records. 5. Ask for a confirmation number or email follow-up. 6. If possible, request a corrected letter be sent to you. Good luck! The system is a mess, but stay persistent.

Also, ask if they can check if there are any other records with your address under a different name.

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster with EDD.

Yo, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone without waiting forever. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Mc9FNfOF_yY

It took about an hour, but I didn't have to sit there listening to hold music. They just called me when an agent was on the line.

Sounds like a scam tbh. Why would you pay to call unemployment?

Not a scam, I promise. I was skeptical too, but after trying to get through for weeks, it was worth the $20 to finally talk to someone.

Remember to document EVERYTHING. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. It'll save you headaches later if things get messed up again.

In my experience, it took about 2-3 weeks for everything to get sorted out. But keep calling and checking in if you don't hear back!
