If you believe you are a victim of identity theft or have received a 1099-G Form from DES and you have not drawn unemployment benefits during that tax year, please call 573-751-4058 and press option 5 to reach our Special Investigations Unit. They will ask you to verify your identity; this will likely require you to visit your local Missouri Job Center and present proof of identity.
You will be asked to do the following:
- Report the identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.identitytheft.gov. Please keep the confirmation number and provide that to the DES.
- Fill out a MODES 4631 for the DES and email the completed form to special.investigations@labor.mo.gov. You can find the MODES 4631 form on our website at https://labor.mo.gov/DES/report_fraud.
The Special Investigations Unit will investigate the claim and contact you once a determination has been made.
