Colorado sent me an unemployment benefit debit card. They get some credit for using my actual address (some scammer was hoping to steal it from our mailbox, I guess?) but they should have noticed I’ve lived in California for a decade and have literally never been employed in Colorado.
- Spooky23 5y agoTypically that type of issue is addressed in audit. There’s no requirement that you live in a state to collect or file for unemployment. UI validates against IRS data and may or may not know where you are based out of. My guess is some project manager at a fraud boiler room stuck your zip code in in the “CO” folder instead of “CA”. The people who file these claims are literally on the phone all day and know what to say.
