The Department has worked to ensure information was correct to the best of its ability. However, if information on-file was provided incorrectly, or if claimants have moved or changed their names, 2022 Unemployment Insurance Claimants may request corrections to their 1099-G tax form, additional copies of their new 1099-G, or report receiving a 1099-G due to suspected fraud. Please complete a request through the form below.
How to File a Return with Misspelled Name or Address.
Claimants may still file their personal income tax return if they believe information included in Box 1 Unemployment Compensation, Box 4 and Box 11 withholding amounts, and the Last 4 Digits of claimant’s Social Security Number are correct. Misspelled names will not prevent an individual from filing their tax returns.
How was my 'Box 1' Unemployment Compensation Calculated?
Payment records are maintained by Department’s benefit system to calculate all benefits a claimant was issued in 2022. When reviewing, please consider the following before submitting a correction request:
- Box 1 Unemployment Compensation: Amounts listed in this section of pre-tax and are calculated by the Department's benefit system. If you elected to withhold taxes in your weekly benefits, the withheld amount will be listed in Box 4.
- Regular UI and PUA Compensation: Your total compensation on these 1099-G forms include extended benefits and the additional $600 per week from the FPUC program. If after taking this into account and you still believe your amount to be incorrect, please submit a request through the form below.
- LWA Compensation: If a claimant requested a reissuing of one or more of these benefit payments, the Department is still completing the reissuing process. The amount written in Box 1 is the correct amount of money issued to the claimant, even if the check was not cashed and is being reissued.
I still have not received my 1099-G form.
The Department of Labor is still in the process of mailing out 1099-G forms for tax year 2022. Further updates on the mailing process will be provided.
What do I need to submit a request?
- All VDOL 1099-G forms that you received for 2022.
- The program code for the 1099-G(s) for which you are submitted a request.
- Correct information (Address, Compensation amount, etc.)
- If you believe the address the Department has on file to be incorrect, or different from your current address, please complete the Claimant B-2 Change of Address form. Download and print form here: https://labor.vermont.gov/document/b-2-claimant-change-address-form-printable
Which request form should I use?
- Request Correction: You believe that the 1099-G is incorrect. Please keep in mind that you may still file your personal income taxes as long as you believe information included in Box 1, Box 4, and Box 11, and the Last 4 Digits of claimant’s Social Security Number are correct. Misspelled names will not prevent an individual from filing their tax returns.
- Change of Address Request: You did not receive your 1099-G form for 2022 unemployment insurance benefits, and need to change your address on-record.
- Request Duplicate/Reissue: You need Additional Copies of your 1099-G forms.
- Report Fraudulent 1099-G: You received a 1099-G form but did not apply for or receive unemployment insurance benefits from the Vermont Department of Labor in 2022.
