this whole thread has been super helpful! i'm in the same situation and now i know exactly where to look for my employer registration number. thanks everyone!

Another thing to try - if you have any old W-2 forms from your employer, sometimes the registration number appears in the state wage reporting section. It might be labeled as "State ID Number" or "SUTA Account Number" (State Unemployment Tax Act). I found mine there when I couldn't locate it anywhere else. Also, if you received any notices about workplace injuries or workers comp in the past, those documents sometimes include the employer's various state registration numbers too.

This thread is a goldmine of information! As someone new to this community, I'm shocked to learn that ESD has apparently been failing to pay interest on money they incorrectly collected during overpayment appeals. It makes me wonder how many other people are walking around not knowing they're owed hundreds or even thousands of dollars. What really strikes me is how this seems to be a systemic issue - multiple people sharing similar stories of winning appeals but never receiving the interest they were legally entitled to. And the fact that ESD is only discovering these cases through their own internal audit rather than having proper systems in place from the beginning is pretty concerning. For anyone reading this who has won an overpayment appeal in recent years, it definitely seems worth making that phone call to ask about "post-appeal interest payments." Based on what people are sharing here, the amounts can be substantial, especially if your appeal process took many months to resolve. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - this is exactly the kind of information that can really help people!

As a newcomer to this community, I'm absolutely amazed by how helpful this thread has been! I had no idea that ESD was required to pay interest on money they incorrectly collected during overpayment disputes. Reading through everyone's experiences, it's clear this is a much bigger issue than just one person's random deposit. What really concerns me is how many people seem to be owed money they don't even know about. The fact that ESD isn't proactively notifying people about these interest payments is really problematic - people shouldn't have to stumble across community discussions to learn about money they're legally entitled to. I'm curious - for those who have called ESD about this, are they able to look up your case history even if it's several years old? And do they calculate the interest automatically once you ask about it, or is there additional paperwork involved? This information could be really valuable for others who might be affected. Thanks to Ryan for sharing the resolution and to everyone else for contributing their experiences. This is exactly the kind of community knowledge that can make a real difference for people navigating these complex systems!

Thanks for the update! I'm going to check my notices section right now and probably try that service too. My tax appointment is next week and I NEED this form!

This thread has been so helpful! I'm also missing my 1099-G and was getting really stressed about it. After reading through everyone's experiences, I checked my notices section and sure enough - there's an outstanding overpayment waiver request from last year that I thought was resolved. It looks like these unresolved issues are more common than we think and they're definitely blocking the tax forms. Going to upload the requested documentation today and then try calling (or maybe use that Claimyr service if I can't get through). Thanks everyone for sharing your solutions - this community is a lifesaver during tax season!

UPDATE: I found it! Thanks everyone for your help. It was in my eServices account under UI Tax Information just like you all said. I had to click through a couple of screens but eventually found the 1099-G section where I could download a PDF. The amount looks right based on what I remember receiving. One less thing to stress about for tax season!

So glad you found it! This is a really helpful thread for anyone else dealing with the same issue. Just wanted to add that if anyone is having trouble accessing their eServices account (maybe forgot password or username), you can reset it on the ESD website. Sometimes people create accounts when they first file for unemployment and then forget they have them. Also, for future reference, it's worth checking your account in late January each year since that's when the 1099-G forms become available. Saves a lot of last-minute stress during tax season!

has anyone tried faxing a request? my friend said that worked faster for her last year but i dont have a fax machine lol

I'm in the same situation - collected benefits for about 4 months last year and still waiting for my 1099-G. Based on what everyone's shared here, it sounds like ESD is running behind schedule but they are sending them out. I'm going to try calling that dedicated line at 360-486-2031 that Malik mentioned tomorrow morning. Has anyone had success getting through on that number recently? I'm hoping it's less congested than the main ESD line since it's specifically for tax forms.
