The Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) would like to share updates from the agency, to better serve you and your employees:
Reporting Identity Theft Fraud
IDES has developed a reporting form for employers to report instances of identity theft which resulted in fraudulent claims being filed under the names of one or more of their employees. Please refer to this guide to securely submit an identity theft report at MyTax.Illinois.gov. Additional guidance to protect employees against identity theft fraud is available on IDES’s employer fraud webpage. IDES respectfully request that all employer ID theft fraud claims now be submitted using the MyTax form and not through any individual IDES email accounts or telephone calls.
Phishing Schemes
Fraudsters are renewing their attacks posing as IDES representatives attempting to steal personal information via email, text and social media messages. Please remain alert and vigilant to identify fraudulent communications. IDES will never contact individuals via text message. For further reference, see the Fraud & Phishing Alert and Phishing Schemes Press Release.
