Attached here is the February 26, 2021 NUIFTF memorandum regarding erroneous 1099-G forms. The Department of Justice acknowledges that many unemployment benefit recipients have received an erroneous 1099-G even though they did not receive benefits and/or another party received the benefits through identity theft. The memo provides web site addresses with information contained in the links. You should review each link and take any actions you deem necessary.

The Nevada Supreme Court has assigned a Panel to review Appellants’ request for the Court to hear the case, however, no oral argument date has been set. It remains to be seen whether the Court will set the case for oral argument, decide the case without oral argument, or reject the case in part or in its entirety.
