(16,829 posts)I was furloughed for 2 months last year, and during that time I opened a claim. I went back to work in June. In October I got some funky things in the mail from the workforce dept. but I didn't question it.
When it was time to file my taxes I tried to log in and get my tax form. My account had been deleted. Eventually I was able to get back in, and learned that my account was hacked in October. Somebody got paid for 2 weeks, and then it was flagged because they had changed the bank account and address. That's all they collected.
I eventually talked to an investigator, and she told me that normally I would have been called as soon as they caught it, but there were so many accounts hacked that they couldn't keep up. And they have lousy security.
I still haven't gotten a corrected tax form for 2020.
