My employer informed me today that my SSN was used to apply for unemployment benefits. They showed me the application: the suspect used their name and address (which we verified on Google/social channels) and my SSN and employer name.
I immediately called credit bureaus, banks, credit card companies and checked my credit report.
I filed a police report with local police, with the suspect's police department, and an FTC report which all include their name and address.
The suspect has been collecting $600/week for three months from what we can tell. This is obviously a gross misuse of the system and an offense to taxpayers in my state.
What I'm wondering is: What's next? Will they actually go after him? Will he be prosecuted?
