DWD WILL NOT send claimants a text message
As a reminder, DWD WILL NOT send claimants a text message. If you receive a text from someone claiming to be us, do NOT click on the link. Clicking the link could give fraudsters access to information on your phone which could then allow them to take over your UI account.
Be Aware of ID.me Fraudulent Messages
Please be aware of a new scam where fraudsters attempt to impersonate ID.me. ID.me ONLY operates through the ID.me website. Websites like “your-id-me.com” or other derivatives ARE NOT connected to ID.me. ID.me will not ask for personal information via messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook Messenger.
To report fraudulent messages, please email the DWD Contact Center: AskUIContactCenter@dwd.in.gov. For other fraud reporting information visit our fraud page.
